Wonder By R J Rolacio Sparknotes

In the book, “Wonder” by R. J. Polacio, there is a very moody teen named Justin. He has vast qualities and a lot of them stick out to me. I noticed that he is a shy person, but he also has a strong personality. He has been through a lot, like his parents getting divorced, him playing the lead role in a concert, and even seeing August.

Justin was, but he denied it every time she said it, rather than giving up. This shows his strong personality, but that doesn’t mean words can hurt. Lastly, he is also
