Summary
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. SheÂ’s spent years trying to teach David the rules—from Âa peach is not a funny-looking apple” to Âkeep your pants on in public!”—in order to head off his embarrassing behaviours. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend sheÂ’s always wished for, itÂ’s her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
