Characters
In the beginning of the book, August Pullman was very shy and afraid to go to middle school because he was afraid of the way people would look at him because he was deformed. By the end of the book, August is not worried about what others think of him anymore and laughs off any doubts he has about himself or the way other people see him.
One of the minor characters of the book was Miranda. Miranda was August's sisters best friend and made quite an impact on August's past life. When August was little, Miranda bought him an astronaut helmet which he wore for two years covering his face which boosted his self esteem down a lot as he felt he always had to wear it so no one would see his face.
Book Ending
The book wonder in my opinion has an amazing ending. August Pullman started off feeling as if he wasn't good enough or he couldn't go to school because of the way he looked. However, in the end of the book August win's an award at the school graduation and his excited for his next middle school year, and everyone seems happy in the end which seems like a good ending to me.

August's main conflict during going to school and at school was bullies and even a plague was made about him which made him not want to go to school.
