rules



i just read the book, "rules," by cynthia lord. it was a fun, quick, and easy read - i read it in one day without completely neglecting all of my responsibilities. this was a juvenile lit book that my mom recommended i read. interestingly, it had a lot of the same themes as the last juvenile lit book i read. both books have main characters that have siblings with autism and deal with the difficulties that come along with being a child with a disabled sibling.

this was a touching book and was very well written. i felt like i got a lot out of the book as an adult and it made me think, which i hadn't really planned on. i think that it's good to read juvenile literature every once in a while so that we are transported back to those feelings of reading as a kid.

You are so funny! I love your quirks so thank you for sharing. I have a few juvenile lit books that might interest you... be aware they also make you think but are quick reads.

Don't know the authors, but they are good!
