Wonder by R.J. Palacio

5.0

This is a story that everyone should read. August says that he isn't going to describe what he looks like to the reader because it's probably worse than we can imagine. August has always been homeschooled because of all the surgeries he had to go through but now that his surgeries have slowed down his parents think it's best for him to go to a regular school. This follows August's journey through his first year of middle school. You will scream out loud at how mean kids are, you will cry at the kindness of people and your heart will soar by the end. This books can teach us all lessons in kindness and empathy, something we all need.
