I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial deformity 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.

##读到后面突然有种哈利波特的感觉。。。出发点还是很好的,笔触也比较细腻。
评分##非常暖心的一本儿童小说。由于基因问题而天生面貌迥异于常人的August, 在10岁的时候第一次去普通的学校读书。带着忐忑不安和按捺不住的兴奋和期许,August 认识了许多新朋友。而这些“新朋友”就像是一个个缩小的社会人,影射着人与人之间的矛盾,冲突,理解和支持。在面临朋友的“背叛”时,August 首先想到的是讨厌学校,是逃避。他的姐姐Via说,“ unless you want to be treated like a baby the rest of your life, or like a kid with special needs, you just have to suck it up and go." 勇气和成长是一生的话题,需要不断的学习和努力,才能成为想要变成的人。
