Forget what I just said! *Obliviate!* THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ. It contains the great lessons of empathy. And I don’t think anyone can hate empathy. It's such a heart-warming book! Wow! Every character was perfectly portrayed by R. J. Palacio. August, his sister Olivia, his friends Jake & Summer were my favourites. August had mom & dad who loved him soo much. His sister loved him soo much. And that was just a fantastic family I couldn't help love.This novel is aimed at a children's and young adult audience but it wouldn't harm anyone of any age to read it and be reminded not to judge by appearances and to be a little kinder to others, and it will reward those who do read it with a moving, at times dark, but also uplifting read. The Little Reader Library I really do believe, just like Mark Haddon's Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Palacio's Wonder has the potential to alter young people's outlook, sensibilities and ideas . . . Palacio's writing style is beautifully honest and humorous . . . Any reader can truly begin to engage with the story personally, exploring the lives of many different characters. This, to me, is the measure of a good read - can we put ourselves into a character's shoes? Does it question how we act and behave? Is it an enjoayble read? Wonder does each of these things and I would recommend it to anyone. NATE Magazine Palacio wrote Wonder after an incident where she and her three-year-old son were waiting in line to buy ice cream.

Aside from Justin’s chapters, which don’t use any capital letters, the appearance and narrative voices of the remaining characters all look and sound the same. Nonetheless, telling the story from multiple perspectives allows for another important message for young readers: people often appear fine on the surface but may be struggling internally and so deserve our kindness and consideration at all times. Unfortunately, conveying the story from multiple perspectives also results in a fair amount of needless repetition. Wonder is a contemporary children's novel written by R. J. Palacio [2] and published on 14 February 2012. Wonder is in part inspired by an incident where the author's son started to cry after noticing a girl with a severe facial deformity. Inspiration was also pulled from Natalie Merchant's song of the same name. Several spin-offs have been published, including 365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Book of Precepts, [3] We're All Wonders, Auggie and Me, and White Bird. [4] A film adaptation was released in 2017, and a spin-off sequel film (adapting White Bird) followed in 2023. I’m sure if I wanted, I could probably write an entire essay about this book, but I guess I’ll just leave it at that. In this particular case it might be best if you experience this “wonderful” book yourself! All I’m saying is that “Wonder” was a heart-warming and super sweet read! I can recommend it to everyone and I really hope many people will learn from it and will become more broad-minded and kind in the future! =)You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” – Lewis Carroll, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland Original Alice in Wonderland Book Covers The novel has been translated into 29 languages for worldwide sales: Spanish, Catalan, Japanese, German, French, Portuguese, Danish, Czech, Serbian, Arabic, Hebrew, Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish, Faroese, Turkish, Dutch, Persian, Italian, Finnish, Russian, Korean, Chinese, Ukrainian, Polish, Croatian, Greek, Romanian, Vietnamese, and Slovenian.

August is the main character in this book and he has an abnormal face. For 2 years Auggie wore an Astronauts helmet so that no one would be able to see his face. It's not like kind of face that only a mother could love, in fact it's the kind of face that everyone loves. Auggie is a very special personal and someone that many people should look up to. He somehow survived and grew up to be a smart kid with a loving protective family: a loving, understanding bigger sister, Via; doting parents and an adopted old dog, Daisy.

At graduation, Auggie is awarded the Henry Ward Beecher Medal for his strength and character throughout the school year, while Julian's parents decide to send Julian to a different school the following year. A decir verdad, me arrepentí casi de inmediato de haber sentido eso. El hecho de que Charlotte, Summer, Vía o incluso Miranda aporten su granito de arena a la historia hace que RJ Palacio le dé una redondez a la trama como pocas he visto. Cierra todos los puntos, todo lo que rodea al pequeño Auggie, y te ayuda a entender muchas decisiones o sentimientos mostrados por los personajes. Their grandma understood Via and her troubles and it may seem strange, but I was so thankful for her saying those things. As Auggie’s sister Via didn’t always get the attention she needed, because parents tend to take more care of the kid that has problems and is in need of their advertency. They had no other choice, it’s only natural. Still, I loved Olivia for accepting this and I loved her even more for supporting her brother. She obviously couldn’t help but feel alone sometimes though and it was really comforting to know that her grandma was watching out for her. =) Well her grandma and Justin of course! ;-P Maybe it's me, but I think author forgot about Justin very soon. He just disappeared without any warning.Wonder by R.J. Palacio is an amazing, touching book that I found really heart-warming. It made me laugh, cry and had me hooked from the start...I would give this book 5 out of 5 and I admit I loved this book. Red House Wonder by RJ Palacio is one of my all-time favourite books – it made me think about how we treat others and how showing

Read the award-winning, multi-million copy bestselling phenomenon that is WONDER in this new tenth anniversary edition. Palacio tells NPR's Michele Norris that the book was inspired by a real-life encounter with her own kids six years ago. They were at an ice cream store and sat next to a little girl with a severe facial deformity. Palacio's 3-year-old son cried in fear, so the author grabbed her kids and fled. She was trying to protect the girl but also avoid her own discomfort.With the matter-of-fact wisdom that warmed Beverly Cleary’s books, this story about growing up is full of heart and humor, and written with a clear-eyed intelligence that never descends into cynicism. Auggie’s smart, funny personality will win over readers who will agonize with him over the complicated web of friendships and family even as they cheer for him as he learns some of life’s big and scary lessons.
