![]() ![]() But Janet-Wendy's mom-never comes back, even after weeks. Wendy, Josh and Louie walk home and wait by the phone for her mom to call or return. She waits for hours while other students get picked up, and finally Josh and Louie come to get her… but they don't have her mother with them. Wendy is horrified because her mother works in one of the towers. When Wendy gets to school, though, the teacher announces that there's been a huge catastrophe: Two planes have flown into the World Trade Center. That's for the best anyway, because Wendy and her mother are fighting over the fact that Wendy wants to take some time off of school and go to California to visit her biological dad-who has largely been absent in her life. She says bye to her stepfather Josh and her little brother Louie, and misses seeing her mother before she heads off to work. ![]() At the beginning of The Usual Rules, thirteen-year-old New Yorker Wendy is just getting ready for a normal school day. ![]()
