Wonder (2012) (edit title/settings)

• Rated 3 stars

“A book with a great heart. Beyond "Empathize", for me the central message was "Reserve judgement". I thought the conclusion was too neat and a little misleading in its reinforcement of the importance of acceptance, achievement, just deserts. The occasional reference to "heaven" (where we love by feeling and not seeing) and "the universe" (which takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see) didn't help.”

“August has never been to school. He is 10 and starting middle school in the fall. August doesn't want to go to school. Because of one thing. His face. He is deformed. At school, people stare, point and laugh at him, behind his back. Then he meet a girl called Summer, who understands what it is like for him. Join August and Summer as they try and get through Middle school.
This is a great book. It makes you ope your eyes to all the differences in the world. This is a very sad book. I recommend for people with a ind heart. It is sure to make you cry.”

“A great YA book. It didn't feel forced or like an adult was writing to try to be like a child--very natural voice. I loved the way different characters described shock and gasps. An easy, fast read for me. ”

“This is a GREAT Book about bullying, tolerance, and accepting others just as they are. Told in several different perspectives about a boy named August, it's a powerful and heartrending novel. I highly recommend reading it!”

“This is a good book for 4th-5th graders to read. The main character is a boy, Auggie. He is starting his first year of middle school after being homeschooled. Auggie has a very deformed face that further complicates how other people, students and adult treat him. It is a rough year. I just wanted to yelled at some of the parents/adult characters is the book for their behavior. This is a good book to talk about everyone’s differences, feelings and kindness. Throughout the book are excellent quotes that I could not help wrote them down. One of them is, “You can’t exactly blend in when you were born to stand out.””

“This books address so many issues, obvious body image but I think the characters in this book are all very divers and students will be able to relate with one of the characters. ”
