This was a lovely novel, a level of complexity that I didn’t expect woven throughout when portions of it were narrated by those also affected by Auggie’s illness.

Wonder is an incredible story that should be read in fifth grade. It is about a boy with a facial deformity that gets bullied, but it all stops when he makes some friends at a new school that stick up for him. This is a great story about acceptance and teaches lessons on bullying.

He eats ice cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside.But Auggie is far from ordinary. Ord...

I can’t remember the last time a book made me cry. I’m being serious, I never cried when some of my all-time favorite series ended. I didn’t even cry when people were crying after the last Harry Potter book came out. Heck, I didn’t even cry at the end of Allegiant. I just don’t cry. So I’m wonder...
