Wonder

“...They say I must be one of the wonders of God’s own creation, and as far as they can see they can offer no explanation.”
I don’t usually give out five stars like candy, in fact, only a fraction of the books I’ve reviewed have five stars at all. But this book deserves it the most. This was definitely one of those quick read-in-one-sitting and then pass it down to the next person in line kind of reads. I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end. With every different perspective it was amazing to see how everyone was fighting their own battles. But Auggie was an absolute inspiration to see how he grew so much, and how he was such a great sport about every joke about his face. Seriously, he may not be real, but I can see so many other people who live in him. He represents so much and I have only to thank him for being such a trooper. He really was a wonder!
