“I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives." This quote pretty much sums up this book. I mean, this book deserves that! It was amazing, absolutely amazing. To me, it was the kind of book that makes think more than it was the ...

Such a sweet story, and one guaranteed to open hearts and minds. Excellent for grades 5-9 or simply for use in school to promote discussion. Highly recommended to all readers!

Read by Vincenza: Beautiful book. Main character's point of view was well written and his sister's and others were also good. Was uplifting and empowering, but not empowered. Recommended for upper primary ages.

This one is a simple, light book narrated with a peace that flows from beginning to end. I really liked the story and its narrators, specially Auggie. I liked how no matter how hard life for Auggie and them was, they always found a way to see the brighter side, Auggie was very special, innocent, k...
