Year 5 Wonder by R. J. Palacio

In 5JCS we are currently reading “Wonder” by R J Palacio.

“You can’t blend in, when you are born to stand out. My name is August. I won’t describe what I look like.

Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.” Nawal says, “I think this book is a really good book so far. It is all about a boy called August who has a genetic disorder which mostly affects his face. I really like this

book because at first, August was really nervous and now he’s made friends and does not care what people think about his face. I give this book 4.7 stars out of 5.” Hugo says, “I am enjoying this book. It is about a boy called August who gets bullied at school because of his face. He does make some friends that are really kind to him. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.”

Harper says, “I love Wonder. It is a great confidence booster. It’s about a boy with a poorly face who’s been home schooled but he has to go to real school. He is nervous at first but he gains some really good friends.”
