Wonder is about a boy named August Pullman, otherwise known as Auggie. Auggie has a facial abnormality and because of this, his mom keeps him very sheltered and does not send him to school until he is in the fifth grade. When Auggie does go to school, he is bullied by most of his classmates because of the way he looks. This book shows the challenges Auggie must overcome and the relationships he forms with others.
I think this is a really good book, but I am not sure if I personally would use this book in my class since it is pretty long and might be a bit difficult for lower elementary students. I think that once a student is at a high enough reading level to read and comprehend this book, they should read it. This book shows a viewpoint that is not shown in the media very often and I believe this book shows a new perspective that is very good for students to
learn about.
