Wonder by R.J. Palacio
Grades 4-6
August Pullman was born with a craniofacial abnormality—a genetic
defect that caused his facial features to be severely deformed. Told
from multiple perspectives, this is the tale of August’s transition from
home school to private middle school. Will he make friends? Will he
decide to stay at the school? And can the people around him learn to
see past his appearance?

Wonder is about a boy with a facial disorder and he is starting school. My favorite character is Summer because she is the only one who plays with August. The problem is that Jack, August’s friend says something that is very mean. I think you should read this book because it is sad and funny.

Wonder is a fabulous book! This is a book about a boy named August who has a face deformity. The main characters are August, Summer, Jack, Via, and Julian. My favorite character is Summer because she is really nice to August. I encourage anyone who likes books with a lot of suspense in them to read this book.

Wonder is a good book. That’s because it is about a kid who has never been to school! Isn't that weird? The only kid that plays with him is Summer. If that sounds interesting then read this book. Also, if you like drama then you should read Wonder.

If you have a hard time at school, this book is definitely for you. If you’re the new kid at school,you have it way easier than August Pullman. People say it’s hard to be the new kid, but Augie was born with a facial disorder. August had surgeries ever since he was a baby, so he never went to school. I think this book is very emotional, but happy at the same time.

Wonder is the best book i have ever read. It is about a little boy named August who is bullied and has no friends except for his dog. His dog is his only friend, his best friend. He and his family finally decided to let him go to school for 6th grade. When he gets there only one girl gives him a chance. Her name is Summer. You may need a box of tissues when you read this book.

ReplyDeleteI think this book is a good book because it tells about a boy who was born with a different face who thinks nobody likes him because of that. he doesn't want to go to school but he did. He found a friend who likes him for who he is.
I think this book was really cool. In it, a 10 year old boy named August Pullman who was born with bad facial problems. August goes from being homeschooled to starting fifth grade at a real school. At his new school, August makes some new friends. His new friends are Jack Will, Charlotte, Summer, and Juilian. I think Wonder is good book.

This book is about a kid that has a different face than other people. Some kids make fun of him. He has 2 friends that are nice to him and they gave him a tour around the school.
My favorite character in the story is August. He is the one that gets made fun of. He is the main character in this story.
You should read this book if you like to read
things that actually could happen in real life.

Wonder is a great book. It is about a boy named August and he had multiple surgeries. His parents think it is good for him to go to Middle School. He meets three friends Jack Will, Julian, and Charlotte. He likes Jack Will the best. He meets another friend Summer. Do you think August will like school after all?

This book is about a boy named August who was always home schooled because he was born with face problems and he even had twenty-seven surgeries to fix it. But when he is in 5th grade his Mom wants him to go to a public school. Sometimes the day is good and sometimes it is bad. My favorite part in the story is when August made a table of summer names with his new friend Summer.
