Wonder by R.J. Palacio is about a boy named August Pullman, who was born with a facial difference that has made it hard for him to fit in. The story follows his journey as he attends school for the first time, dealing with the challenges of being different in a world that doesn’t always understand. It’s not just about his experiences, but also how his family, friends, and classmates see him. The book explores themes of kindness, acceptance, and how appearances don’t define who someone truly is. Throughout the book, we see how people react to August in different ways, and how those reactions help him grow.
I would definitely recommend Wonder. The story is not only touching but also teaches important lessons about empathy and kindness. One thing I really liked about the book was how it was told from multiple perspectives, giving insight into how different characters felt about August and their own challenges. The way the author writes makes you feel connected to the characters, and it really makes you think about how you treat others. It’s also a fairly easy read but with deep meaning, which makes it great for all ages. Even though some parts are emotional, it’s ultimately uplifting and leaves you feeling inspired. If you enjoy stories that make you reflect on life and the people around you, this book is definitely worth reading!
