The book is about a boy who was different, his face wasn`t normal, although he was subjected to many surgeries since his birth, it didn’t get good enough results so as to look like a boy of his age that could blend in with other children without standing out.

He couldn`t go to school at the time that the other kids go because of his health  ,he had to recover of his successive operations into his face, so he was taught by his mother until she could, yet as the years were going by his family realized that he needed professional teachers to teach him better and new friends to meet and to interact or to  be related. Because of his deficiency he was a shy, polite boy and he was sheltered by all his family, above all by his mother.

In the family there were his father, supporting everything, his mother and one older daughter. All of them had to get used to living taking care of August, the name of the main character.

He began his first school-year, he must have been about ten years old,  obviously he had a lot of problems, small children don`t cheat nor hide, it was hard and with a lot of troubles:  in the classroom, in the dinning room, in the playground, in the aisles,  sharing their homework, at the excusions….,he demonstrates to be so brave and so smart   while he fought to integrate, despite so many difficulties, that finally he was the one who had better mates and who got on well with everybody from the school.

I would recomment reading the book because you could  learn that the life is  not easy to anyone, the boy was extremely clever but physically he had other faults. It is clear that in life everybody has to do a lot of effort. If you have one thing you will surely miss another.
