I need help
Hello if anyone sees this could you tell me how to get off the first chapter its not letting me past the first 15 pages and i just bought the book.
This book Rules (except for the ending)
I read this book with my nine-year-old twins. We enjoyed the writing and appreciated the honesty of Catherine, a character who has a good heart and shows what real life can be like both trying to fit in and living with an autistic brother. However, we were all very disappointed with the ending. While we appreciated the concept, we would’ve liked more description and closure.
I love this book
I look this book because I read it in class and it had everyone in my class all interested in the book(only 7 people in my class likes books) so that was surprising but i personality like autistic and Down syndrome because I want to be a person who helps those type of children in school I had this one kid in my class let’s call him… Ivan ( Not his real name) he could not stand up without these things at the back of his shoe he could not control his actions or words so when he was bullied in class all his friends aka our classmates came to help him everyone made fun of him so yeah. But this is a good story
