My Favorite Book of the Year...
Wonder by R.J Palacio was by far my favorite read aloud book of the year! I loved the way the author described August and wrote from different characters' points of view.
Summary...
August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school - until now. He's about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is, Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?
