Wonder by R.J. Palacio (written by Joshua)

August Pullman is a kid born with genetic problems. He was born with a face deformity. He was home schooled for his whole life, until he is sent to Beecher Prep. He is forced to fit in with kids who had a normal childhood. He struggles to make friends. Even the "nice" and popular kids see him as a "freak". He doesn't know if he can stay here with people who only judge him. We see the perspectives of several characters and learn everyones perspective on the world they live in. It's up to August  to make and keep friends at this mainstream, crowded school. 


It was a heartwarming story about being different and learning to live with those differences. It is a spectacular book with an amazing message. It is a great book for anyone born with disabilities or disorders. It teaches anyone that personality and looks are not the same thing.
