WONDER

Wonder was written by R.J Palacio in 2012.

This book is about a fifth-grade boy called August Pullman, who has several facial differences compared with a “normal” kid’s face. The book starts when he was homeschooled by his mum and she decided to change to a real school. So, August and the rest of the family reacted  to this decision.

The novel follows his entire first year of school, which is incredibly emotional and he has good experiences as well as bad ones.

I started reading this book only to improve my English without any interest. However, from the beginning I was extremely keen on following August’s story and I couldn’t stop reading. In my opinion, this book shows perfectly all different positions and opinions in whichever situation and the feelings which involve that moment. Therefore, Wonder is a fantastic book because it transmits the feelings incredibly well.

Finally, I would recommend this book to everyone, especially teenagers and kids, in order to avoid bullying which is a real problem in our society.
