Books are tricky things to rate. They are tricky becuase of one thing... there are soooo many kinds of them. I recently read one called Wonder by R.J. Palacio. It was a great book. I would say it is ages eight or nine and up and it's one book that's not hard to rate. I loved it. Wonder is about a boy named Auggie Pullman who has a facial deformity. He is looked at as an outcast, yet he is normal. Here's the problem. He's the only one who knows he's normal. His mother and father treat him like he's normal but... if they thought he was really normal, wouldn't they have thought to send him to public school earlier in his life other than sending him in fifth grade? Principle Tushmen seems nice enough but, will his fellow students be the same way? He thinks Jack likes him and Summer seems to, but is it all an act? This book is touching and not like any other book I've read. It's split up into three parts and it talks from each of the characters point of view. So start reading Wonder and enjoy it!
