Weird rules to follow
(Book)

"It's the 1980's. Mia and her best friend, Lara, have known each other since kindergarten. But even though they both live in the same cul-de-sac in the coastal fishing town of Prince Rupert, Mia's life is very different from her non-Indigenous, middle-class neighbour.... Their differences never matter to the two friends, but Mia begins to notice how people treat her differently just because she is Indigenous. Teachers, shopkeepers, even Lara's parents -- they all seem to have decided who Mia is without getting to know her first"-,Back cover.
