This book is called Wonder and this book is an funnny, sad, joyful book and it is based on a boy named August. He is homeschooled by his mom but when turned ten his mom decided to put him in school so then he will learn to work with others, and does not have to stay home all the time. There are more characters in the book Wonder and they are Via, Justin, Miranda, Summer, and Jack. (Auggie's nickname for August) journey through his first year at Beecher Prep is heart-breaking, funny and powerful. In addition, he is a really strong boy that faces a lot of things but he has really good friends and they are Jack and Summer they don't laugh at him but they do laugh with him and that is what makes them good friends. Another thing about this book is that Auggie’s family is alway protective for instincts (Via nickname for Olivia) Via is the most protective one in her family for instincts if anybody stares at Auggie she always says this “if they stare let them stare you can’t blend in when you're born to stand out.” He does ordinary stuff but like why can’t he be ordinary like other kids. For me this book is truly a “Wonder.”

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 book about a boy named August Pullman who has difficult face issues who has an up and down life that goes side to side that ends up into a little swirl of having his life very difficult. My feelings were sad, surprised, mad, and happy because of the book so many expressions have digged deeper into my heart. I recommend getting this book because it has a good story and many details you will be surprised about including how will things end up differently. When you get the book I think you will think differently of what you might think of your perspective. I recommend giving this book to a friend after you finish the book and tell them if you liked or not. For something to remind you do not watch the MOVIE first if you do you’ll already know what will happen and then it will spoil the book for you. Since I already read the book i’m not sure if there is another book like that and that the book will never will be replaced. I liked the book very much because of its Drama, sadness, anger, happiness, and surprises it has.

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. It’s a very good book to read and I think you can also read it maybe you can get some kind of feeling to this book. This book is very popular. This book can tell you a lesson about a lot of stuff. 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.
