Wonder

name of the book: Wonder

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a severe facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school.

Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past his extraordinary face. Wonder begins from Auggie’s point of view but soon switches to include the perspectives of his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These voices converge to portray a community as it struggles with differences, and challenges readers, both young and old, to wonder about the true nature of empathy, compassion, acceptance, friendship, and—ultimately—kindness. Auggie is a hero for the ages, one who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

fav character: August because he is the main character and very nice to everyone and he is a hero cause he goes through things that other children didn’t go through.

secondary character: Mrs. Garcia because she was very nice as well and helps August.

The least fav character: Jack, because he was acting like he liked being around August but then August overheard him say mean things about him behind his back.

I recommend this book because it’s very emotional and very interesting and it encourages us to accept others that are different than us.
