This had an interesting story, but there were also aspects that that just didn‘t work well for me. I thought the information about virtual reality and how it could be used with hospital patients was great, and the development of the friendship between Addie & Mateo was wonderful. The backstory with Addie‘s mom and opiate addiction was originally very vague and wasn‘t resolved in a way that felt logical to me.

“Rules“ a Newberry Honor book by Cynthia Lord is an essential read for anyone in the field of education, particularly those interested in inclusive practices. The story follows Catherine, a young girl navigating her relationship with her autistic brother, David. Lord skillfully illustrates the complexities of family dynamics and the social challenges that arise in a school setting.

As an education major, I found the themes of advocacy and communication particularly relevant, as they highlight the necessity for educators to foster inclusive environments for all students. Overall, “Rules“ is a thought-provoking and heartfelt narrative that not only resonates with young readers but also serves as a vital resource for those preparing to work in educational settings.

If you want to get away from someone check your watch and say, “Sorry, gotta go!“
