Author: R.J Palacio

This book is Fiction

What is the book about?

This book is about a boy called August (Auggie) who has a facial disfigurement ; which means his face is differently formed to other peoples. He is a sweet, funny boy who has been through so much and still fights his battles. He is starting school for the first time in middle school and he is in grade 5. There can be some horrible bullies but he never lets them bring him down. He has a sweet dog called Daisy and a sister called Via. At school Auggie meets loads of people but are they nice, wait and see?

Who would this be suitable for?

I think this book is suitable for all ages as it teaches us a valuable lesson to be kind and don't judge people if they look different, they have emotions to. People are humans and do have feelings so you shouldn't be nasty to people just because they don't act or look "not normal." I definitely think everyone should be aloud to read this books as it just shows how bad people feel if someone has been horrible to them and never forget they have feelings as well.

Would I recommend this book?

I would definitely recommend this book it is very powerful and teaches people not to be horrible. It definitely makes you think again and R.J has made this book very powerful and touching. I rank this book 5/5 stars as it really makes you think about your actions and that people have emotions. It's sad to think that people can be so horrible but its true and the author has included every ones perspectives, and you can see what it feels like to be a "different" boy.
