Oh my goodness! This is my favorite book of all time! I love the characters and plot in this book. The way the author made the characters in this book talk is just like how my friends and I talk like. I can't wait to read more books from this author.

Over 6 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller WONDER and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.
The book that inspired the Choose Kind movement.
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

This book is a very good way to show how everyone is the same no matter how they look. Wiggle is an amazing person and I wish he was real!
Wonder is one of my favorite books of all time. August the main character has disabilities and is going through a rough time when entering middle school for the first time. Wonder teaches a great lesson, not to judge a book by its cover. The author uses great details to make it sound really realistic and makes you cry at some parts. I suggest this book to anyone going into middle school because that's where most the story takes place.
