Wonder by R.J. Palacio is about a boy named August (but they call him "Auggie"). He has a facial deformity which means his face looks deformed and it's his first year going to school because he's always done homeschool. When he started 5th grade he made 2 friends: Summer Dawson and Jack Will. There's another boy who is named Julian but he is very mean to Auggie. In this book, Auggie has to face the tragedies that happen in 5th grade but also has fun and funny moments. I personally love this book because it teaches kids to be kind no matter what the person looks like. I would definitely recommend this book to all 5th-6th graders.
