First Chapter Friday Rules by Cynthia Lord

Описание: Each Friday I share the first chapter of a favorite book for middle schoolers. Today I’ll be reading aloud the first chapter of the Newbery Honor Medal winning Rules by Cynthia Lord.

Book Blurb: Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public" -- in order to head off David's embarrassing behaviors. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising, new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
