Wonder
I wanted to share my thoughts on a really interesting book called "Wonder" written by R.J. Palacio. This novel tells the story of August Pullman, a boy born with a significant facial difference. The main point of the book is how a 10-year-old boy prepares to go to a regular school for the very first time and how he sees a world that isn't always prepared for someone like him.
The story kicks off when August starts fifth grade at Beecher Prep. What I found really cool is that the story isn't just told by August; his sister Via, and his friends like Summer and Jack Will also get to narrate chapters. This way, you understand things from many different viewpoints. You see how some classmates don't treat him well at first, and also how not everybody makes genuine friends. It also shows you how strong August is and how his parents, like all parents, encourage him at school.
Wonder really moved me because of its powerful message about empathy and kindness and the way the author manages to make you understand what each character feels. I really admire I think the most impactful part is seeing how brave August is and how he inspires others.
Honestly, I really recommend "Wonder" to all my friends and anyone looking for a story that makes you think. It's an excellent book for us to learn more about being inclusive and how important kindness is in our daily lives.
