"Wonder" Book Review @RJPalacio



‘’Let us all meet each other with a smile.’’- Mother Teresa  This quote is a good theme for the book Wonder because the smallest gesture can make the greatest impact on someone's life. August (Auggie) Pullman was a child just like everyone else who wanted to fit in. As a young boy, he was diagnosed with Treacher Collins syndrome, which causes facial deformities. His parents decided to protect him from the horror of people and the comments they can make by home schooling him. When he reached grade five, he and his family decided to give public schooling a try. Auggie was then enrolled in Beecher Prep school in the fall. Wonder takes you through the journey of ten year old August Pullman and the problems he faces during his first public school year. Auggie learns that kindness from one person can make all the difference in the world. I hope that Wonder, by R.J. Palacio inspires you to be loving towards all and be an over all kinder person. Go check out Wonder by R.J Palacio, and also 365 Days of Wonder, both of which are bound to make you smile. Wonder, the movie, first premieres on November 17th, 2017.  #choosekind
