Wonder
is a story about a ten-year old kid named August who was born with a facial
difference that kept him from going to a real school until now. He’s now facing
a whole different set of challenges, such as making friends, avoiding bullies,
and dealing with work. “Wonder” is an extraordinary novel that is touching in
so many ways. I recommend that anyone reading this review should definitely
take a look at this amazing novel.
NOTE: There is a trailer for this book on the author’s
website at http://rjpalacio.com/index.html.
