Rules by Cynthia Lord is this year’s book selection for “The Little Read.”

Children’s novelist and picture-book writer, Cynthia Lord brightens the literary world with her heartwarming tales. She published her first novel, Rules, in 2006 for a middle-grades audience. This debut novel won the Newberry Honor Medal and the Schneider Family Book Award, among eight other awards nationwide. Rules was nominated for a Kids’ Choice Award in 40 states. Publishers Weekly praises Rules as “appealing [and] entirely convincing. . . . A rewarding story that may well inspire readers to think about others’ points of view.”
