Wonder

WonderI won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?

R. J. Palacio has written a spare, warm, uplifting story that will have readers laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. With wonderfully realistic family interactions (flawed, but loving), lively school scenes, and short chapters, Wonder is accessible to readers of all levels.
 

Oh My Goodness this book is amazing, I was told by my friend that this was amazing and oh was she right. I loved this so much I cant even describe my love for it. I read through it very fast because I was so engrossed by the story and the different POV made the story even more engrossing. Getting to see the different views of  August was very interesting.
