Book Review : Wonder By R.J Palacio

10/26/2015

0 Comments

 
This book is certainly one of our favorite books. The innocence and purity of the main character's voice is so touching and beautiful it makes you want to meet him in person.

Meet Auggie, an extraordinary 10 year old boy who was born with a facial anomaly and was not mainstreamed in a school up until 5th grade. Hear his story and his day to day encounters as well as his sister's and classmates' points of view towards Auggie's appearance and presence in their lives . 

As soon as you start reading this book you will be transported into Auggie's tough world and you will be breathtakingly surprised with the bravery of a beautiful 10 year old boy.

" Heartfelt, brave, beautiful  and breathtaking novel"
