OVERALL IMPRESSION: This book just makes me happy. Auggie had to overcome so much and he's so strong because of it. This books shows that people can overcome aything. And the face that this is such a young child makes it both heartbreaking and inspiring. This would be a great book to read with a chi...
Are you Wonder-ing what I thought of the book? Ok, I promise no more puns for this review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing itself was not technical, being a Junior Readers' book and all and I'm totally fine with that. The narrators were all of the age of the target audience, so it fit ni...

What a great start to my reading year. Santa bought this book for Miranda and I picked it up last night and could not put it down. Truly a wonderful story that I would recommend to every 10 year old, and every 10 year old's mom and dad, and every mom and dad, and every human being.

"I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives."Who deserves that? R.J. Palacio. This book was completely life-changing for me.Think of the worst thing that's ever happened to you. Well, I bet none of that explains the life Auggi...
One part in particular really hit me with this book: when Via's boyfriend is talking to Miranda, and she says, ""The universe has not been kind to August Pullman."" He agreed at first, but then he thought, 'maybe not with his face, but the universe balances things out.' August has a loving family an...
