In this fascinating book Wonder, about a boy named August Pullman is a extraordinary kid who has a dream to have a regular face. Auggie did not have much friends at the first day of school in 5th grade but will people like him by the time 5th grade ends? When a really big thing that happened in 5th grade to Auggie I got really shocked to what happened there. I really liked this book by R.J. PALACIO and I hope you do too. I would recommend this book to all the people who are interested in this book which is funny, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. Really hope people buy this book.

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.

Wonder is a funny, sad, happy, and interesting book. It is inspired by a true story. This book actually made me tear up at some parts.

I don’t know why anyone would dislike this book because it is just amazing. This book is very interesting to read.

Wonder is a great book. When you read Wonder you cry, you laugh, and you get emotional. Wonder is a book where you get a lesson of kindness, and bravery. There will be a lot of characters in Wonder which you will get to know. The main character of the book will be August Pullman. I think that the people who read Wonder get really attached with the characters. I really prefer Wonder for those people who are not Kind to other, who start bullying each other. I am sure that they will start liking August and get a lesson of kindness. That’s all I want to say about Wonder. When I read it I really get attached with it. I finish it last month and I love it.
This book about WONDER I liked the book a lot I already read it all and it was great some parts were really sad but the whole book was funny even my friends cried to it.

Last time my whole class got to read it and we actually finished it literally and it was great. I really would recommend you read it because it's great compared to other books. The book is also about a boy that is deformed and his face is really messed up he has some very bad moments in his life that he wishes were never there but they are, and also some good moments. This book is really great and I think you should read it.
This book Wonder is amazingly written, (By R.J Palacio). This is a book about a 10 year old boy who finally goes to school. But, August Pullman isn’t like every other ordinary kid, Auggie has a condition where he has facial differences. He makes great friends while being at school, and also gets bullied by a couple of kids. In his time at Beecher Prep (his school), he faces difficult and awesome moments. I personally think this book is great for kids and adults. It’s amazing, heart-breaking, and more. I personally love this book and I think you guys would too. I also recommend watching the movie AFTER you read this book. I totally recommend this book to all of my friends and everyone who is looking for a book like this one.You would love all of the characters in this book like Auggie, Via, Summer, Jack Will, Justin, and Miranda. This book is truly a wonder.

The book wonder was awesome, I have never ever read this kind of book. All the talking and all the things they were doing was so detailed. I like the characters in the book. I like how jack frighted for being with august and not with Julian. Sorry I spoiled it for you. This book is awesome it has every emotion like the sad part fanny part happy part. It make me cry in some parts. I also liked how the author detailed everything and the movie don't even have that much details. First I read the book and then I saw the movie both of them was amazing. I mostly liked jack the most from all the character there were. August was awesome in this book and movie WONDER. Thank You for reading the review.
This book is about a kid who has a deformed face his name is August. When he goes to school he has a hard time. I really don’t know how he can go the year with a puck. He has been homeschooled most of his live.He feels orenairy but other people don’t see him that way. During the book I felt sad and omost cried. I really like this book it was one of the best books I ever reed. I really recommend this book It has so much emotion that it will make you cry.
Wonder is concentrating on a disfigured boy named, August, who has been home schooled from his parents since he didn’t want to be around other people. When august reaches the age of 10 he goes to his first public school which eventually turns into an adventure. Following further into story August gets friends that found him normal just like he wished. Eventually August first school friend, jack, turned out to be a fraud and was just being with August since he was told to. Throughout this story August has been outside with other people and was surprisingly comfortable with it. Sometime at home he’s been through family issues. Wonder's other characters has went through some rough times to which they narrates their story themselves. Very much I recommend this book, since, I read it, it was a good book, emotional, and beautiful. Especially from heart touching moments that you’ll sure love, You can try out reading this amazing book yourself.
