Wonder

Wonder   5 out of 5 stars

    I really enjoyed this book. Wonder is about a boy named August (Auggie) Pullman. August has a "cranofacial anomaly," making him look very different then everyone else. Despite his 27 surgeries since he was born, he still does not look normal. You would think his sister, Via's life would be easy considering she missed the gene that messed up her brother's face but in reality it is not. This book really makes you think about that. I love the way it switches perspectives so you can understand everyone's different views. It is a truly heartwarming book.
