Синтия Лорд4.4 "Если не хочешь отвечать, задай вопрос.
Не используй два слова, если достаточно одного.
Иногда люди смеются. А иногда насмехаются.
Маму обнимать можно и нужно, а кассира в видеопрокате - ни в коем случае".
Это правила, которые Кэтрин сочинила для своего младшего брата Дэвида. Без них он совсем слетает с катушек.
"Обалдеть!"
"Почему бы нет?"
"Гадость!"
"Само собой!"
"Плевать!"
А это карточки со словами, которые Кэтрин нарисовала для своего друга Джейсона. С помощью них он общается с остальными людьми. Вообще-то Кэтрин приходится нелегко: ведь мир потихоньку переворачивается с ног на голову, когда тебе 12 лет.
Книга была удостоена рекордного количества литературных наград, в частности Медали Джона Ньюбери - американской ежегодной литературной премии за выдающийся вклад в развитие литературы для детей.
Как быть, если твой младший брат - аутист? Если в самый неподходящий момент он позорит тебя перед друзьями и из-за него тебя не зовут в гости? Дэвид просто достал Кэтрин. Но ведь она так любит брата и так хочет помочь ему научиться хотя бы немного жить по законам этого мира. Поэтому Кэтрин сочиняет игру в правила, которые Дэвид может усвоить - в отличие от криков и замечаний. Это история двенадцатилетней девчонки - о ее мечтах и печалях, о том, как добиться внимания собственного отца, о том, каково это, влюбиться в мальчика в инвалидном кресле.
