Description
This Newbery Honor Book tells the story of Catherine's quest for normalcy in a world that often revolves around her brother's autism. She has spent years trying to teach David the rules, from what is and isn't funny, to how to behave in public. But when she meets Jason, a boy with a paraplegic condition, and Kristi, her long-awaited friend, everything changes.
Catherine's life is turned upside down as she confronts her own shocking behavior and the true meaning of normality. With wit and heart, this story explores what it means to be different and find acceptance beyond the rules.
