Y5: Wonder!

by R. J. Palacio

A funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut – and a true global phenomenon – to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.

The book Wonder centers around August, born with facial differences and a genetic condition that required him to have twenty-seven surgeries. Because his health was unstable, his mother home-schooled him through fourth grade. During August's years at Beecher Prep, he had many new positive and negative experiences.

Arman: “Wonder is a great book for people of all ages. It has a lot of positive messages, helps us to look at life in a very optimistic way.”

Olivia: “This is my favourite book. I absolutely love this. It is so moving and heart-warming. I love every aspect about this book.”
