He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. He has a special focus on one subject--forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are thrust directly in the spotlight. For Jacob's mother, it's a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, it's another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And for the frightened small town, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eHouse Rules \u003c\/i\u003eis \"a provocative story in which [Picoult] explores the pain of trying to comprehend the people we love--and reminds us that the truth often travels in disguise\" (\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e).\r","brand":"Jodi Picoult","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (English)","offer_id":44441703252204,"sku":"9780743296441","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback (Vietnamese)","offer_id":44441703284972,"sku":"9786041145207","price":144.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780743296441.jpg?v=1718785394","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/house-rules","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
