I loved how Auggie looked past these moments of weakness from those he loved. I loved how that struggle was portrayed because the characters were usually not portrayed as bad human beings, because it isn’t evil to be scared once in a while. I loved how the characters were often torn between being kind to Auggie, and treating him as a friend/family, and protecting their reputations at school. The author really seemed to get into the mind of children between middle school and high school ages. I never felt bad for Auggie because of his deformity, for the most part, I hated how society treated the child because of his deformity. The story was so sweet, of course there were some parts of the story that made me sad, to the point where I had to put the book down. This book broke my heart yet made my feel so good at the same time.
These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid-but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.Īugust Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school.
