 The main character in this book's name is August. He has an older sister named Via. August has never fitted in with other children his age. August is not your average kid. He has surgery on his face every few months. August has been home-schooled all his life because of how he looks. So when his parents decide to sent him to school, his life turns upside-down starting with  the day he met the principal of his new school. Mr Tushman.................

                                                                      REFLECT

Question for the author: why did you call the book Wonder? Was it to supposed to make us wonder about things while we are reading the book? And how did you come with the idea for this book?

Advice to the characters: Mum, try to listen to what August wants, not just what you think is best for him! Via, don't be ashamed of your brother, be proud of him and of all he has gone through.

                                                                      REVIEW

I  didn't like how the author hadn't used many metaphors or similes however, I do like how the author writes something like say "August was never invited to any birthday parties" then explains it or gives an example. That strategy helps me to better understand what the author is writing.

 

                                                                     RELATE

T-T I have read a book before where the boy has a butt for a head and a head for a butt. I can relate that to this book because August also has facial problems. T-S I was taken on a tour when I first started school as well. I can relate that to this book because August is taken on a tour of his new school.
