Wonder book review

Wonder

By R.J. Palacio


Retell

August thinks that everyone will make fun of him because of his face. He is going to a new school, so he gets a tour and meets the principal; Mr Tushman. When he gets to the new school, there are three kids that give August a tour around the whole school, their names are Jack Will,
I think that these kids have set a good example for their school.

Relate

August is ten, just as I am. He has a very good friend that he has known since he was very little, I have one as well. Like all of us, he is nervous to see the kids at this new school.
 

Reflect

I am wondering why the author didn't describe August and the other characters very well, so I think that the author needs to describe each of the characters a bit more so that people can get a better picture of what's happening.

Review

I like how he includes funny parts every now and again, it is really effective and makes the reader want to read more and more. I think that it is good that you can easily tell when you're up to a new chapter, but I think that each chapter needs to have a number or something so that you know what chapter you are up to, otherwise, you waste time double checking what chapter you are up to.

  1. It is a very engaging book, Blake. Your review has me thinking about how I engage with the chapters in books. I think i am a bit like you as I like to know how many pages until the end of a chapter. I wonder if it will continue to be part of your review the further you enter into August's world or if the storyline will grab you and the review will reflect your response to it.
