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.

A very intriguing and deep meaning book. I enjoyed it because of the amazing description and realistic struggles. It gave me an insight of how it would be in his mind.

This is one of my favourite fiction books and have read it lots. It has about a boy who is different to everyone else but has hope in the hardest times. I liked it because it was about support, friendships and determination. I would recommend it to people aged 9 - 16.

This would for a school, because it tells you that even if you look different we are all the same inside.

Loved it! It is so good, i couldn't stop reading it and watching the movie to compare the movie and book. It is so emotional - i got my self shouting at Julian the bully whenever he said something hurtful whilst i was reading the book or watching the movie

I would reccomend for people who like humourous storys. I liked Summer the best because she was the first one to befriend Augast without being asked.

This is the best book I’ve ever read it’s beautiful tearful and lovely. This is a very emotional book. Wonder is about a kid named August who’s dealing with disfigurements and trying to fit in while going through 5th grade.
