Wonder

This book is about a boy named August, who is nick named Augie. He has a problem with his face which he was born with and it is largely disfigured. He has lived his whole life as someone who kids stare at and  think of him as a freak. Auggie for the first time in his life is being sent to school, he doesn't look forward to it because he knows that he will be bullied at school. He lives with his very loving parents and older sister Via. August knows everyone stares at him and talks about him behind his back but he pretends not to notice so they dont feel bad about him noticing. The time he experiences at school is tough, especially with a boy in the year called Julian, who decides to turn the year group against him and the other boy Jack who hangs out with Auggie, including making a game called the Plague. The Plague is if  you touch August you have 10 seconds to wash your hands before you catch it. In the end August makes really good friends and loves his school. This is a very sad book as well as being happy. Don't judge a boy by his face just like you don't judge a book by its cover.             9/10    Otty M
