Wonder follows the story of a young boy named August "Auggie" as he goes through his first year of "real" school in New York. He has to go through many trials and tribulations, but that doesn't stop him from showing the world who he really is! Middle School can be a tough time for anyone, especially for anyone who doesn't fall within the norms of society!
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone! It had me going from beginning to end! Bring your Kleenexes!

Title - Wonder
Author - R. J. Palacio
Genre - Fiction
Summary:
Wonder is about this boy - August - who was born with facial differences. The story follows him as he goes through fifth grade and the struggles he faces because of his face. It deals with many difficult themes including bullying in his school. The book keeps changing points of view from August, to his sister, his sister's boyfriend, his sister's friend, and two of August's friends which is interesting because it recounts events through the other's person's eyes so you get a sense of the situation in full.
I remember this book always being pretty popular so I decided I'd read it to see what it was all about and it was really good, though really sad at points. It does end well for August though and you see the community really come together and rally around him.
