Wonder

Wonder

By R. J. Palacio

Wonder is a novel that's basically about a boy called August with facial deformities that separated him from other kids in school, making him the spotlight-but in a bad way, of Beecher Prep(school name). Several people bully and don't accept August in his first year at school, and that causes him to lose self confidence. But soon, with the help of his family and friends, he soon understands it's okay to be different from other people. Wonder is a really heartwarming story, teaching us to be kind to ourselves and others-I believe this book will have a great influence on everyone!
