Review
Wonder by R.J. Palacio is a truly heart warming and inspiring novel
that touches upon themes of kindness, empathy, and acceptance.
The story follows the journey of August Pullman, a young boy with
facial deformities, as he navigates the challenges of starting school
for the first time. What makes Wonder truly special is the way it
reminds readers to look beyond outward appearances and focus on
the beauty within each individual.
The characters in Wonder are so well-developed and relatable,
making it easy for readers to connect with their struggles and
triumphs.
Auggie’s resilience and positive attitude in the face of adversity is
truly admirable, and serves as a powerful example of the importance
of kindness and compassion.
R.J. Palacios writing is both
moving and insightful,
capturing the complexities of
human emotions with grace
and sensitivity. The novel is
filled with poignant moments
that will tug at your
heartstrings and leaves you
feeling inspired. 26
