*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

WEIRD RULES TO FOLLOW is Mia's growing up story. The readers follow her from sixth grade to eigth grade-- during her seasons at the reservation, summers with her best friend, Lana, and all the other mundane things that are a part of growing up.

This book touches on quite a few heavy topics: alcoholism, racism, the 'Canadian Indian residential school system', the growth and end of friendship, underage drinking, and puberty. WEIRD RULES is a biopic of the author's own experiences growing up as an indigenous person-- events and relationships in the book heavily influenced by her own life.

Real and relatable, WEIRD RULES is a perfect middle to early high school grade read. It provides and unique and important view that will spark important conversations.
