This book was a wonderful eye-opener, something that makes you think, and I hope that more
children and adults will read this, especially
when the movie comes out.
This book is about August, a boy who was born with a
facial birth defect. After several operations to help his live a normal life his
parents decide it is time to send him to mainstream school. He is about to
start 5th grade which means he won’t be the only new kid at school.
This is the story where Auggie has to show his friends that although his face
is different to theirs he is just like them.
Auggie was a great character and I really enjoyed
him so much, to be fair all the characters were really likeable. The flow of
the book was gripping and it pulled me in from the beginning, with short
chapters and a couple of parts through the viewpoint of different characters.
Reading this book has made me remember how mean kids
can really be. I by no means had any facial deformities, but as someone who
underwent a lot of surgeries that left me with scars on my leg, it reminded me
of all the names I was called, and the questions children had about it.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone to read,
even though it is a middle-grade book, pick it up and read it. It teaches you
compassion, and definitely not to judge someone by the way they look.
