Wonder

Written by R.J. Palacio

A book for readers in grades 3 and up reviewed by Aidan

        

Wonder is about a kid named Auggie, who has a facial difference that prevents him from attending school in person until he enters fifth grade. At first, Auggie is feeling nervous about being the new kid, but he later tries to convince all of his new classmates that he is the same as them.

There are plenty of reasons why I love Wonder, but I will just be stating three. First, I loved the connection and the detailed similarities to actually being a 5th grader. Second, I loved the main subject of the book, which was "Don't judge a book by its cover." I realize how cheesy that saying is, but I value its importance. Third, I found the book very motivating, funny, and uplifting.
