Narrative In Favor Of Books Wonder (Wonder #1)
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.

I don't read a lot of realistic middle grade fiction. I tend to gravitate toward fantasy. But this is probably the best such book I've read since Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.The main character August (Auggie) Pullman is a ten-year-old boy with severe facial abnormalities. Little kids scream when they see him. Older kids make fun of him and call him a freak. Auggie is home-schooled through grade four, but for middle school his
Loved this book so much! Hated the film
Ten-year-old August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a rare facial deformity. Hes had twenty-seven surgeries on his face and has always been homeschooled until now. This year, Auggie is being mainstreamed and will enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep. Fitting in is hard enough when youre the new kid, but Auggie will have to work extra hard to get his classmates to look past his extraordinary face. If I found a magic lamp and I could have one wish, I would wish that I had a normal face that no one
i think dis great as book
Wonder is one of those rare books that makes you want to hug everyone in it so tightly that theyll have no doubt about how much you love themand beyond that, it also makes you want to reach out and hug the whole world. Its an upbeat, humorous, life-affirming story that deserves to be readand its one that may just change its readers, too.If you remember how terrifying it was to be a kid on a day to day basis, youll appreciate Augusts story. 10-year-old Auggie is going to school for the first time
When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.
