Summary:
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?
R. J. Palacio has written a spare, warm, uplifting story that will have readers laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. With wonderfully realistic family interactions (flawed, but loving), lively school scenes, and short chapters, Wonder is accessible to readers of all levels.
I absolutely adored this book. This book is filled with so many good stuff. It is so well written and all of the voices of the characters are so true to them. Wonder is an amazing tale that really opens your eyes to the reality of this sort of situation that kids like August face (no pun intended). August is a strong young boy who overcomes adversity with such determination and I was simply blown away by his character. I also really enjoyed the other characters and their points of view. By the way, I also loved the different points of view in the book. Honestly, Wonder is beautiful and so stunning. It's so touching and heartwarming and of course, you simply gotta root for Auggie 'til the end.
Overall, I gave this book a whopping 5/5 stars and therefore a 10/10. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
Thanks for reading (:
