Auggie Pullman is an ordinary boy, on the inside. His facial differences have kept him from going to a real school, until now. He struggles through many hardships and challenges when his parents decide to put him into a real school environment for the first year of middle school. In this amazing story of overcoming challenges R.J. Palacio brings tears to your eyes but she also will make you laugh till your ribs crack. Note: my parents have read this to my younger siblings so it may appeal to younger ages as well.
I really love how Palacio gives all the major characters a section in the book to express their feelings and responses to what is happening around them. This story made me cry in many places, but after finishing the book I wanted to read it again and again.
stars out of five:☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
This is perfect for ages 10+.
