The book Wonder is about a boy named August who is deformed. It was written by  R.J. Palacio. In the book there is a kid named August who is deformed. He was getting home schooled up to middle school but his parents decided for him to go to a real school. Most of the book takes place in Beecher Prep (his school). So when he gets to school a lot of kids are mean to him. He had an old friend named Christopher. They both like Star Wars, and started growing a braid in the back of their head. Other then his deformity, August  is totally normal.

At school August meets some really nice people. Like his friends Summer and Jack Will. Throughout the school year people get adjusted  to August’s face, but most of the kids still did not want to be friends with him. Throughout the book the perspective of the character changes so you can see what all the other people think about him. The author has divided these into parts and there are seven parts in the book, but I actually have a special edition that has eight parts and the eighth part is the bully’s perspective. 

I really liked the book because it was super  interesting seeing how he gets through life. I also liked it because it is hard for me to find good books and this was amazing. If you have a hard time finding good books you should read this book. Even if you do not have a hard time finding books you should read it. I would give it a *****star rating.
