5th and 6th Grade Book Club

Join Us for Book Club! The first meeting of the 5th and 6th grade book club will be held on Wednesday, October 8 from 3:30 to 4:30 in the library Bring a friend! Snacks will be provided. We will discuss the book Rules by Cynthia Lord Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public"---in order to head off David's embarrassing behaviors. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising, new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
