Wonder

Wonder by R.J. Palacio is a story about ten year old August Pullman, a boy with rare and severe facial deformities. August has been homeschooled his entire life to accommodate his many surgeries. Now he is embarking a new journey, entering middle school!

This was a book club read for a local group. They tend to pick some downer books and my expectations for this one were not high. However, I was surprised to find a book the was uplifting and completely inspiring. I wanted to jump into the book and just hug Auggie! I won't give anything away, but this book left me teary. I thoroughly enjoyed cheering August Pullman on throughout this book. A must read!
