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.

The book, Wonder is about a kid named August and his family but, August has a facial abnormality. It's also about how other people see him and how he has has a hard time making friends with his facial abnormality and it's way harder for him now than ever because he is going to a new school. Will he make new friends at the new school? Read to find out! I recommend this to children from third through fifth grade and people that like sad stories and funny/exiting stories too. My opinion is this book is sad because people treat him bad.Also it is a good book to read because it is exiting. Via/august sister is like my sister because they are both really nice.My favorite part his when they are talking about the farting nurse for august's mom when she was giving birth to august. I recomend other books by,R.J.Palacio by Tyler
The book wonder is about a boy named August who has a facial abnormality. It is his first time going to a public school his mother taught him at home.And when he went this boy named juilen was really mean to him his first few month's of going to public school.

The book wonder is about a boy named August. August has facial abnormality. August is starting to go to school for his first time. This book talks about what it was like for August to start school and try to make friends. He has a best friend named summer. I remember when I was in kindergarten i was so scared just like August. I really like this book because it teaches kids about kindness and don't judge a book by its cover. My favorite part was when summer came over to August table because she wanted nice friends. I would rate the book wonder a 9 because there was not that many adventures but it was still really good! This book was sad and happy.I recommend this book for 4th throw 7th grade.

The book wonder is about a boy named August. He is different . He had so many surgery's on his face. And his best friend was summer. She was the first one to sit with him at lunch. It was changing because he was starting a different school. It is like when I started school. I was very scared to go but I was excited to. And other kids would make fun of him. And on his face was Facial Abnormality. It was very sad. But you have to go for it. I think 4th through 8th could read it also there is more books to follow. Like by the character. But wonder is a good book. My favorite part is when summer sit's down with August. by Kylee
wonder is about a boy named August. I love this book so much because it has you doing different feelings. Also August has had a lot of surgeries on his face because he was a deformed baby.i could relate someone to August and that is my dads sister which is my aunt she is handy cap and she has a deformed face . I feel really bad for her sense she is in my family. I absolutely love the part where August goes to school and makes some friends. I would recommend this book to kids that have problems like August has. I think this book kids grades 5th trough 8th should be able to read it to them self. I also love the part where August goes to school and he gets his first high five i thought that would be pretty cool sense he barely had any friends . Do you think that August will stay in school or will he try and leave . If you love this book like i do you can read a lot more books the just this go cheak by Delacey

Read to find out! I like Wonder because i is a good book because it shows different feelings through different characters . It could help kids like August because some kids like August need friends like every other human being. My favorite part is when August first goes to school and makes new friends!

I would rate Wonder a ten because Wonder shows feelings and kindness to other people, and it can teach other people how to be kind and not bully people.I would recommend this book for grades fifth through eighth grades because fifth grade through eighth will be able to understand Wonder better than other younger people. by Shalei

The book Wonder is about a boy named August with a facial abnormality. August is starting fifth grade. He has been home schooled his whole life. August goes into the school for a tour with some other kids. The kids are Charlotte, Jack, and Julian. Charlotte and Jack were nice to him but Julian was just rude. August decided to go to school and doesn't have the best time. Other kids avoided touching him, getting near him and a lot of other things. After a little school others got used to his face. Julian and his mean squad was still mean about it though. One day at lunch a girl named Summer sat down with August. They became friends. Others are still mean though. Read the book to find out more!!! I wound rate this book a 10/10. Wonder is a sad/happy book. I give this book a 10/10 because it had some sad parts but it is all about being kind. August makes friends and is still not normal but we are all different. I recommend this book for grades 4 through 7. Will August keep going to school with his few friends or will he quit because of the mean kids like Julian?! Read the book to find out. By the way there are more books in the series. by Ashley
