Wonder is a well-written and poignant novel about a 10 year old deformed boy - August (Auggie) - starting school for the first time ever.
Auggie suffers from a major facial deformity which leaves him embarrassed about how he looks. As a result, he has been home-schooled by his mother for his entire life. All this changes when Auggie is enrolled at Beecher Prep and has to face high school in its entirety: bullies, homework, best friends, parties and more.
Told through multiple viewpoints, Wonder is an incredible story of a young boy liking who he is, in a society that doesn't.
I think that most kids aged 9 years and older would like this book.
