Wonder by R.J. Palacio

5.0

Wonder is a captivating book written about a young boy with facial differences who starts attending school for the first time in middle school. It deals with the ups and downs of his adjustment, as told from the perspectives of numerous people whose lives are interwoven with his. This book provides an excellent look into a topic that is not often covered. It would be great to read in a classroom because it shows students that actions and words can hurt, and thus it teaches kindness. Additionally, it familiarizes them with the point of view of someone who has differences, such as those that August has.
