Rules Audiobook

" cool "

" This book was inspiring to me for disability people. This book was about a girl who's brother had a disability about forgetting things. She had to make up all these rules for him to follow around the house and around her because she is embarrassed by him because he acts up around her friends. When at the learning center she meets a child with a speaking disability and had to use flash cards. She would always make him new flash cards and draw on them because she was an artist. Him and her would communicate with the cards and talk about their lives. She really begins to like him but has to chose between him and her friends because they make fun of her for hanging out with him. She then meets a new girl that is her neighbor and decides to go swimming with her on her friends birthday party that she was invited to. He is then disappointed in her and is mad at her. He then forgives her and they become friends again. "

" Even thought it has been a while since I have read this book I remember I have learn a lot from it ,,Not to spoil it but you will be moved to tears as you learn what it is like to have a true friend ! "

" I loved this book!!!!I can really relate to this and it helped me a lot!!!! "

" I thought Rules was very interesting because it explained how it is to be friends and a sibling of someone with autism. I think it must be very hard to live someone and at the same time I think I would become very overprotective of the person. I recommend this book because it helps a person to understand what this kind of life is like for both the person with autism and the person living with him/her. "

" This story is about a young girl named Catherine who has a brother named David with Autism. This story is very touching. Catherine makes rules throughout the story to help out her brother. She becomes friends with a boy named Jason and a girl who moves in next door. This story would be a great story to utilize in the classroom to help students understand friendship and Autism. "

" Great story about living with someone who has a disability. The story is told through the sister of the person with the disability so it gives a great perspective of the hardships that a family deals with. The author drew from her own life when written this book. Written by Cynthia Lord. "

" I always enjoy reading good young adult literature. This is the summer reading book for my incoming sixth graders. I look forward to discussing the issues in the novel with them in September. "

" I actually heard it on tape. It started out good, but it started to get weird... "

" Fun young adult read, reminding us how important being ourselves is, not cowing to the pressure of being like everyone else. The "rules" she writes out for her brother should be applied to everyone. "

" Good story for pre-teens to read to get an idea of what it is like to live with an autistic sibling as well as to have a life of their own "

" A great book for younger readers about having a sibling with autism and accepting differences. Its a quick and easy read "

" This book is for sure one of my all time favourites. It's one I could and have read multiple times. I will for sure recommend this book to everyone looking for a favourite. "

" Fast read--it was sweet. Just wish the characters were more developed, but I think this is more on the 4-5-6th grade level than the 7-8th level, so, considering that, it was a fine story with a great message. "

" Great example of how to treat others who are different. Can lead to good conversations about disabilities and bullying. "

" Great book to read. It is written as from a teenage girl stand point. It was very broad and a quick read. Would have liked a little more story. Good quick read. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book! It was such an interesting book that is about how a little girl helps her little brother who has autism. The book has a lot themes about friendship and accepting others for who they are. I would defiantly recommend this book! "

" Perfect for 6th and 7th graders! "

" This book was so good!!!!! I felt so bad for the boy because of his autism. It's a very roughing book "

" I liked this book because it showed me more that it doesn't matter if you have a disibility it only matters if that person has agreat heart which david and jason did!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" I have read this 2 times "

" the only reason i read it was because it was for a summer reading project in school, but if i could finish it. it isn't that bad "

" Great book. I read it and thought about So B. It "

" 4 and a half stars. Really great book; didn't end the way I thought it would but all my favorite parts were with Jason and his communication book. I'd like to know what a family with a person with autism would think. "
