August Pullman is a kid that is starting 5th grade, he has treachers coins syndrome which makes him look different from most kids and he also suffers from autism. He has had a lot of plastic surgery to make him function and look more like a “normal” human, but his face is different from many 10 year old kids. For his whole education career he has been homeschooled and now this is the first time he is going to school. August struggles to fit in with a group at school because, of his face, but when people meet him they love to be with him. There are many life lessons you can learn from this book: don’t judge a book by it’s cover; if there is a choice between right and kind, choose kind; and many more. I read this book when I was in grade 5 and it is still one of my favourite books. @rusty_reads of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library Wonder by R.J Palacio makes you do exactly what the book says, it makes you wonder. You wonder about everything in this book in such an awe-inspiring way. It’s about a boy named August Pullman, a completely normal ten year old boy who loves video games, playing with his dog, and building new things. He is a normal boy with only a facial deformity. He’s been home schooled his whole life until he gets accepted into a new welcoming school for fifth grade and learns about the other side of life he always wondered about. This book is quite inspirational and definitely tells everyone to live your life no matter how you look because it might not feel like it but until you open up with others around you, your just as normal as you've always wanted to be and you have the time of your life when your not worrying about your looks. This definitely is a must be read on rainy days or when you just want to binge some amazing books. A for sure recommend for pre-teens who love reading chapter books! Go check this brilliant book out at your nearby library! Rating: 4 Out of 5 stars @PocketFullOfBooks22 of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
