The book is called Wonder. It's about a boy called August who's starting school for the first time in his life. He has been home-schooled for most of his childhood. Most children are nervous for their first day of school, it's a scary time after all. But August has another reason to be scared because he was born with a neurological dysfunction which caused him to be born with a deformed face.
Some children strive to stand out but August just wants to fit in.
It is told from the view of August, his sister, her boyfriend, her friend and two of August's friends.
This book definately opened my eyes to how judgmental and shallow people can be when they first lay eyes on a person. Most people place judgement on someone before they even get to know them. As the saying goes "Never judge a book by its cover". This book highlights this message throughout.
I found it to be such an easy read because the chapters were short and the writing was simple, yet effective.
This book is aimed more towards the teen age group, but I'd recommend giving it a read anyway.
