Book Review
By Bianca Baron August, a kid who’s never been to public school, and was born with a defect is able to face middle school. Will he make new friends and fit in? Will he survive the dread of a public middle school? Are you wondering if he will survive? Read the book Wonder to satisfy your questions. Wonder a fantasy by: R.J Palacio, features August, who is worried he won’t fit in with the kids at school, but through friendships he makes at school realizes his acceptance and that beauty is on the inside not the out. I really appreciated all the details given in this story. I think this book was magnificent. It teaches everyone that your appearance doesn’t matter, like when August had to get hearing aids and he was so self conscious about them, but everyone was cool. I also like how the author doesn’t describe what Augie looks like, almost like he wants us to focus on the actions more than the appearance. In the title Wonder I think the author intended you to wonder about how August felt all the time. If he had butterflies in his stomach or wanted to keep his tears from spilling. I also think he intended to leave you wondering about what he looks like too. R.J Palacio accomplished this by leaving you to think deeply about how you would feel if you were Augie. Would you want to cry, yell, or disappear? He accomplished the fact of not telling us his appearances to focus more on the book’s meaning. In my opinion, he accomplished these very well. I focused more on the book and stopped to think about what August would feel. I give this book a 7/10. A lot of the time I didn’t understand what was happening and got lost. A meaningful reader would like this book; they would stop and take time to paint the pictures in the book. Picture Source: “‘Wonder’ by R.J.
