Wonder by R.J. PalacioMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this story about Auggie--a young boy born with severe facial disfigurement who enters school for the first time as a 5th grader. (He'd been home schooled previously.) There's a good message for everyone, no matter the age. My only issue with the book is that it seemed sometimes the author forgot she was writing about 10-year-olds. It often felt like I was reading about high school freshmen or sophomores rather than 5th graders, and I'd stop and ask myself, wait, aren't they only 10?! Overall though, this was a very enjoyable book and I look forward to seeing the movie.

true! but maybe today's 10 year olds are like our day's highschoolers. ;)
did you see the movie?
No, I haven't seen the movie yet, but like so many other things, it's on my list!
