     The book Wonder by R.J Paliacio, is a great book that I love because it always kept me wanting to read more and I never wanted to stop reading, it also taught me many lessons through out the book. This book is a realistic fiction. This book is about  boy named August but called Auggie that goes through so much problems in and out of school, August has a facial deformity which kept him from going to a regular school like any other kid. August was always homed school, but his parents thought it is time for him to be around kids his own age and August was worried about how he'll fit in at the new school. I really enjoy this book because I learned that no matter how anyone looks you never judge them and there was so much surprising events. In the beginning i judged the cover of the book and believed that the book was not going to be interesting, but as I got further in the book I learned that this book was just right for me. I believe people would enjoy this book because, so much happens in this book and people who are reading this book will be sitting at the edge of their seat always, and they will learn a life lesson from it. The main characters of the book is August, his sister, his mom, and his dad. August is a nice boy who does not care about what people care or say about him and he is not scared to take risks in life. Augusts mother is caring and very responsible mother, she tries to help August overcome his feelings in many ways. Augusts father always tries to encourage his kids and he always tries to have a father and son bond with August. Augusts sister is older then August and does not have a facial deformity and always tries to comfort August and make him feel like he is no different then her. In the book Wonder August faces some problems like going to school and fitting in, always having surgeries done on his face, and getting bullied by kids in his school. A lesson that August learned is that he should always believe in his self no matter what problems he faces in life. 

       The theme of the book Wonder is every person on the inside is the same and on the outside is different a quote from the book is "You are beautiful in every single way." This book is similar to any other book because at the end the main character always accomplishes their fear and they overcome their problems that they did not expect to face. I would recommended this book to anyone who ever got bullied or judged by how they look.
