This was a re-read in preparation for the March Treehouse Book Club. Twelve year old Catherine keeps a list of rules of behavior she tries to teach her autistic brother, David. She is frequently embarrassed by his failure to understand how social interaction "should" be handled. When she befriends a wheelchair bound boy who speaks by pointing at pictures in a book, Catherine begins to understand that "normal" isn't a fixed standard and that different is not necessarily wrong.
