Review

"Catherine is an appealing and believable character, acutely self-conscious and torn between her love for her brother and her resentment of his special needs. Middle-grade readers will recognize her longing for acceptance and be intrigued by this exploration of dealing with differences."

"A rewarding story that may well inspire readers to think about others' points of view."

Publisher's note

Having always tried to manage her autistic brother's embarrassing behavior, Catherine is excited about her new relationship with Jason and friendship with the girl next door, but when the pressures from home take their toll on her, Catherine acts out badly and so begins to consider reviewing and revising her own coping skills.

Annotation

At 12, Catherine is on the cusp of her teen years, and having an especially hard time with her autistic little brother, David. While she loves him dearly, she constantly makes up rules for him so he'll be more normal, and she hopes the new next-door neighbor girl won't think he's crazy. When Catherine becomes friends with Jason, a wheelchair bound boy who communicates through pictures, she discovers both her capacity for affection and some unpleasant things about herself. A 2007 Newbery Honor Book.
