Wonder (book review)

Wonder, written by R.J. Palacio, is a story about a boy named August, or Auggie, Pullman, who as a facial “deformity". The book is a memorable story with characters that are easy to become attached to. It is funny yet can make you cry. The book is written in a realistic way in different points of view. Having different characters with different lives yet connecting through August really puts the book together. August has a personality that makes you understand how he's feeling emotionally. His older sister,Via, has this realness about her that puts you in her situation. Via has always been very protective of her younger brother, Auggie. Summer is Auggie’s friend who has a warm hearted playful personality. Jack, Auggie’s buddy, wasn’t to sure about August at first, but later warmed up to him. Justin is Via’s boyfriend who always loved and cared for every character in the story. He is always there to comfort Via in hard times. Miranda, Via’s ex best friend, has always loved and cared for Auggie. Even after Via said she was really mean Miranda still talked with Auggie over the phone. Wonder is a beautiful book that is unforgettable and warm hearted. That is my thoughts and opinions on Wonder and the book's characters. Wonder has been turned to movie that has left many speechless and emotional, with tears running down faces.
