The book Rules, by Cynthia Lord is about the life of a girl named Catherine, and her autistic brother, David. In this book, Catherine learned a lot of new rules, while also teaching David some as well. Although it might be hard for Catherine to make friends because of David, she ends up finding two new friends, Kristy, and Jason. Catherine meets Kristy because they are neighbors. And since Catherine goes with David to his therapy sessions, while she's there, she meets Jason. Jason is in a wheelchair and cannot talk. Catherine helps add new words to Jason's communication book, while trying to keep a friendship with Kristy, and controlling David from getting into trouble. Overall, I recommend this book because it is very enjoyable, and teaches a very important lesson which is said by Catherine in the beginning of the book which is, looking closely at something makes it more beautiful. Catherine says this because she wants people to look closely at David and Jason because she doesn't like when people judge them when they see them by their appearance. As you can see, the book Rules, by Cynthia Lord is a very good book, and I recommend it to people who like to enjoy a good book while learning important lessons.

Nothing but the truth is a novel by Avi which is in the genre realistic fiction. This is shocking as the main character, a boy named Philip Malloy, hums the national anthem raucously to himself and gets asked to step out for it. When he informs his parents about it, they tell him to “practice his patriotism” and stand up for himself. When he does this again, he gets suspended. As crazy as you think this sounds, so did Jennifer Stewart, a news report in the area. Obviously, this story goes national and Mrs. Narwin, Phillip’s homeroom teacher, gets lots of hate for what she supposedly did. Will Phillip continue to run track with his school, or will Mrs. Narwin clear her name?
