Wonder
I thought
that Wonder by R.J. Palacio told a
wonderful story. The protagonist, August, has been home schooled up until 5th
grade because of a facial deformity. He
is treated both specially and unfairly when he comes to Beecher Prep even
though he wants to be treated normally. He
tries to convince his peers that he is just like them and that looks don’t really
matter. Throughout the book the point of view changes, different thoughts of
August are told and people learn to accept August for who he is. After reading Wonder you’ll catch your self judging
people for their real selves, not their looks. The book really explains the
quote “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. I highly recommend this book for any
one in middle school or people who enjoy stories about coming to terms with
their identity.

This is an awesome book that ALL middle schoolers, soon to be middle schoolers, middle school teachers, anyone who has been to middle school...you get the idea... should read. It restores faith in human KINDness. I love the characters and how the story is so artfully told from so many perspectives.
