Chronicle Concering Books Wonder (Wonder #1)
I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse. August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Ten-year-old August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a rare facial deformity. Hes had twenty-seven surgeries on his face and has always been homeschooled until now. This year, Auggie is being mainstreamed and will enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep. Fitting in is hard enough when youre the new kid, but Auggie will have to work extra hard to get his classmates to look past his extraordinary face. If I found a magic lamp and I could have one wish, I would wish that I had a normal face that no oneLoved this book so much! Hated the film
Update: Saw the 10am movie this morning. Paul bought our tickets --while I covered my face with my hat until we got to our seats in the dark theater. I have a small surgery this coming Monday in the doctor's office on my nose (thank heavens for the numbing prescription cream) >> before the shots and knife come at me....Then the bigger surgery, Nov. 29th, at the hospital, --so I wanted to see this film (escape from hiding inside my home) --as my inspiration --before more cutting on my face!
A wonderful read for all ages.

You dont need your eyes to love, right? You just feel it inside you.I chose this quote as my introduction to this review, because I think it fits the prevailing mood of the book so very well. In my case Wonder definitely wasnt a sad book, or a book that caused me to cry rivers of tears, it however was a book that made me think a lot about life though. I mean how could you not think about Auggie and the world we live in after finishing this book? How could you not wonder if youre a good and
Super charming! Love this story. CHOOSE KINDNESS!
