The story begins with Matthew writing to his youngest sister, Emmy, who is too young to understand all the events that occurred in their family’s past.
In The Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin, Matthew Walsh is a teenage boy trying to protect his younger sisters, and himself, from their abusive mother. These are questions Matthew must face while living with his unpredictable and often violent mother, Nikki.
What would you do if you knew someone was being abused? What would you do if your mother were the abuser? Would you call the police, or tell someone? Would you pretend nothing was happening? Would you stop the abuse? The Rules of Survival is one I particularly liked. Hopefully, I’ll intrigue you enough to want to give the book a try. Recently, I’ve been reading novels from the national book award list (both winners and finalists).
I thought I’d try something different today and post a book review.
