These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid-but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.”Īugust Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. I thought it was really good, but I just didn’t think it deserved five stars. This book was my final “disability” read on my list and I’m glad I read it, but I am somewhat surprised by the fact that I gave it a four star rating on Goodreads. I figure going this route will help me stay motivated to read more and maybe keep it entertaining and so far so good! My tastes in books at the moment has been very interesting, I’m not really sticking to one genre but then again if you know anything about me, you’ll know this is completely normal because I can be completely at peace when my music is on shuffle. Ride Me Dirty by Vanessa Vale, Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone and Wonder by R.J.
