This book Rules (except for the ending)
I read this book with my nine-year-old twins. We enjoyed the writing and appreciated the honesty of Catherine, a character who has a good heart and shows what real life can be like both trying to fit in and living with an autistic brother. However, we were all very disappointed with the ending. While we appreciated the concept, we would’ve liked more description and closure.
