The book I read was Wonder by R.J.Palacio, a children's literature book. I love this book and its message, it had some really happy parts but it also had some sad parts but it is a great book. This book is about this kid named, August Pullman, who has some facial abnormalities, he was home schooled for his whole life because he had so many surgeries and also because he was afraid of all the stares and comments he would get from the student but one day his parents suggested that he should start going to school for fifth grade because there will be a lot of new kids - which he is dreading. Auggie knows that he will be treated differently from the other kids but he just wants to be treated like an ordinary kid. At school he tries fitting in and convincing people that he isn't that much different from other people, and he meets two people - Summer and Jack - the only people that were his friend and didn't make fun of him.
How would you react to someone different from you? Would it be hard for you or do you think it would be able to adjust to the person?
My favorite part of the book was when Auggie and Jack are in danger the people that have been treating Auggie badly and the ones protecting him and his friend, and they become friend afterwards. I love this part because at first they didn't like Auggie but then they realize that he really isn't that different from everyone else. I also love this part because I think it could be the theme that you shouldn't judge people on how they look.
