Wonder by R.J. Palacio

An emotional but entertaining book about how to treat others. Told from the people around August point of view.

A young ten year old boy; August Pullman, has never been to school due to a terrible face abnormality. Now he’s finally going to a real school, can he prove to everyone inside he’s just an ordinary child? Joining school in 5th grade, students and teachers are surprised when they see Augusts face,  there  questions and mean names for August  don’t go unnoticed. though others don’t know it august is funny, friendly, trustworthy, kind boy.

This book has some funny aspects such as the principles name; Mr. Tushman, and Mr and Mrs Pullmans collage tutor; Mrs Butt. It is quite sad when August describes his face.

The themes of Wonder are friendship and courage. I recommend this book for people who like funny but touching stories.
