Wonder By R. J. Palacio

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I've never read anything like this book, and it was completely beautiful. It was a rollercoaster of emotions: sometimes I wanted to cry, sometimes I smiled really big, and other I just wanted to punch some of the characters.  The story begins, when August, who is a kid with a couple of diseased that turned it's face a little deformed, starts school for the first time. It’s about how people react to him, and how he really takes it in. I was so mad when he was called names like orc, or Alien, or freak. Why would you do that? I like to think that if I were ten tears old, and I bumped into August, I would react in a cool way. I don’t want to be hypocrital, cause I’m no ten anymore, and I don’t know how I would have reacted, cause we humans tend to be afraid of the things that are not normal to us, but I know that I wouldn’t have cause him pain on purpose, being mean.  August is amazing. He’s so good: he doesn’t do confrontations, he never wanted special treatment, and he’s incredibly funny. I kept reading her dialogues and thinking: ‘Aw, he’s so cute!’“I actually agree with my mom,” she said. “I do think we’re too young to be dating. I mean, I just don’t see what the rush is.”“Yeah, I agree,” said August. “Which is kind of a shame, you know, what with all thosebabes who keep throwing themselves at me and stuff?” I laughed SO hard with that. I love August. Summer was August first real friend at the school. She was so adorable, and kind. I know that that first day she felt sorry for him and went to his table to be polite, but then she realized that August is a really cool guy, and they become great friends. Jack Will, was in the beginning kind of forced to be close to August, and he was a little freaked out, so he said same mean things of August behind his back, that August overhead, and gets upset about. He cut Jack Will off, and that’s when Jack finds out that he really missed August, and that he wanted to be his friends, without having to pretend. I love his two friends. There very loyal, and they didn’t get intimidated for the mayority of people who was rejecting August.  I love the transformation of the fifth graders through this book: how at first, they all feared and rejected August (they even had this game called The Plague, that if you touch August and don’t wash your hands in the immediate thirty seconds, you get the plague), and how that starts changing little by little, until the trip. They protect him from some bullies of seventh grade, and the story goes around through all school, and they start loving August. I was SO HAPPY after this. And the award part! I wanted to cry of happiness so much! "And as I walked up the steps to the stage, the most amazing thing happened: everyone started standing up. Not just the front rows, but the whole audience suddenly got up on their feet, whooping, hollering, clapping like crazy. It was a standing ovation. For me."  His family is fantastic. His parents loved their kids more than anything in the world, and they were the best parents for August: they took care of him (physically and mentally), they loved him unconditionally, and that's something you don't find easily these days.  “Come on, Auggie, please try to understand,” he continued, putting his hand under my chin and tilting my face toward him. “You were wearing that helmet all the time. And the real, real, real, real truth is: missed seeing your face, Auggie. I know you don’t always love it, but you have to understand … I love it. I love this face of yours, Auggie, completely and passionately. And it kind of broke my heart that you were always covering it up.”  I love how we get different points of view in the book, cause we get to see the whole situation, and what it meant to every meaningful character in the story. (I must admit I got kind of lost in Justin’s part). It was great to see how much August changed people lives, and how he got to be so loved. I loved every POV, and every character that spoke.  I totally recommend this book. It’s a display of humanity and kindness, and loyalty, and blindless not superficial love. (Love the part when they talked about faceless souls that recognize each other by the love they feel in their hearts). It’s a very moving, hopeful, beautiful story, that I’m gonna treasure, and re read it a couple times! I take my hat off to R. J. Palacio !
