Catherine's younger brother David has utism which makes life hard on her family. David doesn't understand a lot of stuff about the world so Catherine makes rules for him like "no toys in the fish tank." Because her best friend is out of town, it's lika a dream come true when Kristi moves in next door. She also meets a boy at David's occupational therapy named Jason who can't speak or walk. Unfortunately Catherine feels she can't tell Kristi about David or Jason.
I really like this book because it's funny and has a good lesson.
