Wonder tells the story of a boy called August who lives with his parents and old sister.

August or Auggie as his family call him, is an ordinary boy in many ways; he plays, he watches films and he is a big fan of the Star Wars films. But he was born with severe facial deformities and he was having twenty-seven surgeries. The story begins when his parents have decided that he should go to school, and the story covers is first year in school.

August was upset and afraid to face the kid’s reactions to his appearance, but there is also part of him that wants to do normal things. The director of the school, Mr, Tushman introduces Auggie to a small group of students before school starts, this will help the transition. Whereas some of the students are accepting August, others are a bit put off by him, and still others are downright cruel. However, August make two close friends, Summer and Jack.

The book was convicting, truthful, hopeful and heart-warming.One thing I really liked about this book is that it’s told from the point of view of different characters while it shows  that we  can’t judge people by how they look or what they like. Everyone should read this book because it teaches a good lesson.
