This book is a true wonder, pun intended. I loved the multiple points of view and the uniqueness of each character. The experiences of Auggie were realistic and written perfectly for a middle grades audience as there was always a little lightness along with the darkness. Books that highlight the human experience are some of my favorites because I know they help develop understanding, empathy, and compassion. I’m looking forward to reading this with my children when they are around 5th grade.
