Wonder by R.J. Palacio
4.0
I have been wanting to read this book forever...from passing it in the bookstore, to seeing copies on my friends' bookshelves...this book has been present in my brain for awhile. The book was worth the time--- story was interesting, it met the page turning requirement for YA, and the life lesson was interesting....my only complaint was I found Auggie whiny and spoiled....and not 100% likeable (as I think the author was hoping).
This story is about a young disfigured boy entering into school...and how he is treated by his classmates. It follows him over the year and watches him adjust and grow to the people around him. This book obviously has a lesson that all teens/kids can learn....or reinforce (EMPATHY) while also allowing the reader to see the world through his eyes.
Read if you enjoy YA....or give to a kid in your life if he/she needs help choosing books.
