<Wonder review -Daniel Shin>

If you suddenly have abnormal face and 27 surgeries, and your eyes down to your cheek and you need hearing aids, what do you think about this? You will be like “ WHAT?!?!?!?!?! That is terrible! Oh man! My friends will all tease me by calling me an “Orc”. OH no!” you will probably think like this. A book called “Wonder” shows the exact situation of how a kid with abnormal faces goes to school and grows up.

August Pullman has a weird face and what the others call “Deformed”. That is the reason why he never goes to school. However, everybody in the street knows him, even though Auggie (August) doesn’t know them. One day, Auggie finds out that his parents were planning to send him to school for a year. His parents think that 5th grade is a good time to start because everybody is new to middle school. Finally, Auggie agrees. Auggie goes to school for a tour and meets Jack, (who Auggie likes the most), Julian, (Who Auggie hated the most), and Charlotte ( Who Auggie thinks is okay). Then the day for the school came. Of course, every student avoided him, except Jack, who Auggie hung a lot with. Oh, there is Summer, who is one of Auggie’s friends too.

On Halloween, Auggie heard Jack bad-mouth him. After that, Auggie completely ignored Jack. Soon enough, Jack found out why Auggie was mad at him and became friends again. While they were being friends, there was this crazy “war” thing happening. I read to the end of “Wonder”, which means I have a whole lot to tell you. But unfortunately, there might be kids who didn’t read all of the novel, so I am not telling you anymore. Luckily, there are many things we can think of.

I personally think that “True friends” are hard to make and hard to keep because people’s minds change without warning. I recommend this book to you, because there are many things you can think of and it is super fun. This was my review of the book “Wonder”. Have a good weekend!
