I recently read Rules by Cynthia Lord and absolutely loved it! The book is about a girl who must deal with an autistic brother but it's also about friendship, relationships between kids, and belonging.
Rules won the Schneider Family Book Award in 2006. That award is for books that help readers understand and accept people with disabilities and it certainly deserves the award. (One of my books, Signs of Trouble was nominated for that award in 2010, but didn't win.)
I love Cynthia Lord's book and hope lots of middle grade kids will read Rules.

Some of the books I review are given to me by the authors, but I never accept payment and my reviews are always honest.

Thanks for sharing this book and mentioning the award. There are so many great awards out there, and it's hard to keep track of them all as a children's writer. Congrats on your book being nominated for the award. WHAT AN HONOR! :)
Thanks, Margot. I never thought of that as an honor since my book didn't win, but I guess it was.
