She’s spent years trying to teach David the rules in order to head off David’s embarrassing behaviors. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising, new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the potential next door friend she’s always wished for, it’s her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down. Teacher discussion guide includes vocabulary, discussion questions, extension activities and additional resources.
