Imagine a world where you're just trying to fit in. Well that doesn't sound so bad most of us do it every day but for August Pullman fitting in proves to be more challenging. Why? Well August or Auggie was born with a defect in his face; Doctors never thought he'd live but he proved them wrong and pulled through countless surgeries and tough years of his life. Now Auggie must face a new challenge. The fifth grade. As Auggie struggles through many hardships of love loss and betrayal readers will learn what a wonder it really is to have his immense amounts of courage. This book will give you the warm fuzzies and will definitely make you cry but its worth every second you spend reading it. 5/5 stars.

Wow, man, Just wow. This book deserves way more than 5 stars. It is really inspirational, and it definitely changed my viewpoint on life. From Auggie's perspective, it taught me to be grateful for that I have a life that I take for granted. From Via, I learned to pay attention to everyone. From Julian I learned to hear all sides of the story before forming my opinion. I love this book, and it made me feel so many things. I recommend it for 9-999 year olds. PRO TIP: Have some tissues ready.

***SPOILER ALERT*** I recently got to read the book Wonder. I think that the plot of the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio is about a boy named August Pullman (Auggie) who has physical deformities and has to overcome challenges that he faces. I connected with this book well. I think I liked it because I always have been, and will continue to be, a very kind, nice girl. While I read the book, I felt sad and upset for Auggie. I wanted to help him. I loved that Auggie managed to be happy by the end. I learned from this book, too. I learned that even though you are different you can still do anything you set your mind to. I also learned that it always pays off to be nice. I learned this because the nice people in the book became best friends with Auggie and saw the inside of him, not just the outside. I am glad that Auggie didn’t give up and found his friends. As I read Wonder I definitely saw Auggie change. He started out as a nervous, sad, unhappy person. He was unhappy because he was getting teased and bullied. Then he went on a field trip to the Nature Retreat. While he was on the field trip seventh graders started bullying Auggie and Jack. Other people from Auggie’s class, who normally didn't like him, came and rescued the boys. After that experience, Auggie felt more confident and happy. He also had many friends. Everything turned around for him. He still had a few bumps, of course, but the road he was heading down had smoothed out. I found this book very inspiring. I liked the part where Jack apologized to Auggie for saying mean stuff about him behind his back. I think that the author included this scene because the author wanted to show the struggles that Auggie had to face. She also wanted to show Jack's true personality and show that he was not another one of the bullies. She wanted to show that Auggie could trust Jack no matter what Jack said. She even included a chapter from Jack's point of view to really put the reader in Jack’s shoes. As an example, while Jack was in class he realized what he did that made Auggie mad at him. As soon as he realized, he deeply regretted it. She wanted to show that Auggie was not alone. That is my opinion of the book Wonder.

This book is so funny and more importantly teaches everyone that even if you be nice do not expect anything nice back. When Gregs best friend Rowley finds a girlfriend Greg is alone he does not have anyone and his mom is set on finding him friends , but that is not easy. On top of finding friends Gregs mom has announced a family reunion which might be worse than having no friends. All his relatives are set on finding Meemaws ring and Greg just does not care. These books are always really funny and I would recommend this book.
