Rules
A little twelve year old Catherine the older sister in the family just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disabilities. She’s spent years trying to teach David her little brother the rules from “a peach is not funny-looking apple” to “keep your pants on in public”-in order to head off David’s embarrassing behaviors.
But the summer Catherine meets Jason a surprising new friend, and Kristi, the potential next-door friend she’s always wished for. Its her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
What Catherine does is she opens her sketch book to the back pages. Where she keeps all her Rules she is teaching David. She says “so if my someday-he’ll-wake-up-a-regular-brother. Her wish doesn’t ever come true, at least David know how the world works, and Catherine won’t have to keep explaining things.
My opinion on the book Rules is that its filled with humor and warmth, Cynthia Lord’

Mary Downing Hahn
A twelve year old Molly and her ten year old brother, Michael, have never liked their younger step sister, Heather. Ever since their parents got married, she’s made Molly and Michael’s life been miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a starts talking to a ghost named Helen is coming for them. And warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them.
Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things up around to get her into trouble. It seems things can’t get any worst. But they do—when Helen Comes. I love this book cause it’s a ghost story and it’s a first rate thriller to me.
And I would recommend this book to people who like ghost story’s and they would love this book. Its filled with very good scene’s in the book that are scary. Plus there are also good scene’s to.
