I really enjoyed this book because it was so heartfelt. It also really put me in the main character's perspective, and I loved the fact that each new chapter was in someone else's perspective and writing style. I think I liked August's [The main character's] sister Via the most because she was so kind and thoughtful. I would reccomend this book to all people looking for a book that would impact the way they look at life.

Wonder is about Auggie, a boy with a different face who goes to school for the first time. Some kids are mean, but he also finds real friends. It is a kind, funny, and sad story that teaches us to be brave and always choose kindness. I loved it because it made me feel happy and thoughtful.

In this book I can feel how Auggie felt being teased, stared and laughed at. I was quite sorry for him. After reading this book I felt that I have to be better to people like Auggie.

This book, is by far one of my favourite books I've ever read. My favourite character was probably Jack Will (or Via).I would obviously recommend this wonder full book to someone else

I loved it. It teaches people to be content with who they are and I hope everyone does just that. I would recommend it to my friend.

It was a powerful story about a boy with facial differences who overcame his bullies with a few friends! I would recommend it to my brother, and my favourite character was Summer!

A heartwarming story of acceptance and dejection, WONDER has the power to change minds in a matter of pages.

Brilliant story of Auggie's inspiring experiences. Altho it may be fiction, it is inspiring, and emotional...

I feel like it talks about real life but in an interesting way.

I have watched the movie and before anyone could grab the book, I did! Everyone is different and unique, especially Auggie. He loves Star Wars and he just wants to fit in without being stared at. Jack Will is his best mate whilst Julian isn't so much. I really enjoyed this book and finding out what happens, I just couldn't put the book down!

I love how life isn't always easy for Augie. People stick up for him but he also learns to stick up for himself.
