Having worked with Autistic children in my own classroom, this book was extremely interesting to me. Catherine is a 12 year old girl who struggles with her 8 year old autistic brother, David. She is at an age where she cares sooooo much about what other people think about her and is especially embarrassed by the actions of her brother David. She makes so many rules for him to follow (each chapter opens up with a new rule from Catherine to David) and this causes even more confusion for David. This is a great story that teaches the acceptance of others, regardless of disabilities. It also shows how other people can have an influence on who we are as people. I have already shared this book with many of my special education teacher friends. It is definitely a must read!!
