spoiler alert I chose Wonder by Raquel Jarimillo, because It is a really good book. It’s about a kid named Auggie. with a face deformity. I think it is really cool because it is written from different perspectives. You can understand what is going on from his friend’s and family’s view, so you know how they feel throughout the book. Auggie goes through high points, low points, and in between points of his life Between the looks people give him, school, and friends. Just like everybody, and we get through it just like he does. Nothing can compare to what he has to go through every day. I Liked it because of the way the author wrote it, you can see how his friends and family feel about Auggie's journey. These are the major differences that August went through when he went to school and made friends. August started off insecure and scared. He wanted to drop out of school because he heard his best friend was saying he was only hanging out with Auggie because the principal told him to and not because he wanted to. Jack will did not know Auggie was right there because he was wearing a bleeding scream costume. Auggie did not have many friends but as the book goes on he gets more friends and becomes less insecure. He started hanging out with different people. He also gets a lot friendlier because everybody started being nicer to him. He and Jackwill become friends again then everyone starts to realize Auggie is really nice and funny. Everything starts to turn out okay at the end. It is just like the book I read, Emily Windsnap. She did not know she was part mermaid because she had not met her dad before, but at the end Emily, her dad, and her mom all meet up and live on a boat that’s part underwater. This is how Auggie changes as a character in the book Wonder.

Over 6 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller WONDER and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.
The book that inspired the Choose Kind movement.
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
