I thought it was really sad when

Daisy died, at first I thought she was giving birth.

But it was a really great book, at some times it made me want to cry.

Wonder is very sweet, especially if you're looking for a quick book to remind you of the good in the world. It's been a while since I read a middle grade book and I'm happy to have picked this one up :)
