Summary Of Wonder By R. J Palacio
“Wonder” by R.J Palacio takes place in the narration of August (Auggie) Pullman. A 10 year old boy born with a facial deformity which prevented him from attending a normal school, until now. Especially with a face that isn’t exactly “normal” this can be very challenging. Luckily he is protected by his loving, big hearted, sister named Olivia (Via) Pullman, and also her best friend named Miranda. Via and Miranda also have trouble with their freshman year. Miranda grows a love for Auggie and developed strong friendship with him. Now, Auggie is starting school for the first time and has been given unpleasantness from a snotty, privileged, egotistical, boy named Julian. As the weather continues to change, Auggie goes through some changes himself.

August Pullman is a great character with loads of charm, humor, and kindness. With only one glance you might want to stay away from him. He’s like opening a present with horrible wrapping. There might not be a bow, but it’s that iPhone X you wanted. All the characters are given such unique traits, much of them are hurting and need that one person to clear up their day. Palacio gave these characters crisp identities with a warm, creamy centre. Justin says in his part “i’m going to be an overprotective dad someday, know it. my kids are going to know i care”. This shows that this person really cares about the people around him and that is shown through love for other characters. Although, this book lost one star because of the overwhelming amount of “peachyness”. No doubt, this book is great for bullying awareness but there is no part in the book to help the victim deal with their problems. Everything works out in favor for Auggie and nothing comes out of the other characters that assist in forming the story. Another thing that I really liked was that the way the narrative was written in each of the characters perspectives really tells a lot about the individual. For example in Via’s part it is written “Far above the world, Planet Earth is blue, And there’s nothing I can do”. Via is a very selfless character and proves that throughout the book and that is what I love about
