Wonder is the first book from R J Palacio and I guess the best way to describe it is to say it’s close to The Boy in Striped Pyjamas. If you cried reading that book, you’ll cry more often when you read Wonder. Auggie Pullman is a bright ten year old who has been home-schooled up until now. The reason for this is he was born with a terrible facial deformity and in spite of many operations, Auggie still doesn’t look like you or me. His parents have decided if he goes to school he’ll be better equipped to cope with the world, and we go through this really tough year with Auggie. This book is a sure winner!
