As a middle school level text, I could see it didn’t have the complexity of emotions etc that it could have. The POVs also changed abruptly and some seemed rather pointless - they could have been told through the main cast POV and not spin off chapters (think Justin and Via’s friend). This did rob something from Auggie’s experience I think.

Books like this make me wish I had discovered them when I was much younger, but perhaps I wouldn't have appreciated them at the time. I sincerely hope reading this book made some kids a little bit kinder to their peers, because if there's a moral to this story, it's that kids can be cruel.

10-year-old auggie pullman has a facial disorder that keeps him from blending in. he tries to ignore the double takes people make or the whispers behind his back, but it's hard to do that when he's catapulted into the adolescent abomination of middle school. it's a beautiful novel about self acceptance in the midst of social hierarchy and i recommend it for readers 10+.
