I read it by myself too. I got it from a class book auction and I found out that it was a great book. It's actually my favorite book! It's about August ( Auggie) Pullman who has a facial deformity. He hasn't been to school because he's had 21 surgeries. He's now going to school at Beecher Prep where he meet Jack Will or just Jack, and Summer. They become friends and help earn respect from classmates like Julian who gossips and makes fun of Auggie. I learned that everyone has some kind of battle te are fighting and that we should all choose to be kind. 😉

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.

such a good book.A must read.
I loved this book . But it was sad when all the kids made fun of August "Auggie" Pullman.It was very inspirational:)
When I saw the cover and I saw wonder but then I thought why does it have an eye so then I thought it is I Wonder. :'( :'
This book had a incredible story! I like it because it shows that sometimes we take things for granted that we shouldn't. Like we think having a normal face is just...well... normal. But Auggie Pullman has a terrible facial abnormality. He has to live through life with everyone looking and staring at him and calling him a freak. The book is in Auggie's point of view, and his friends. This book makes you think more about things in life. If you like books like this one than read "Out Of My Mind" and\or "Mockingbird"
