Wonder by R.J.Palacio | Book Review

Wonder by R.J. Palacio was published by Knopf in January 2012

Wonder  tells the story of August, or 'Auggie' who is a ten year old kid who is obsessed with Star Wars, laughs at the word butt, and loves his dog. However, he was born with an abnormality on his face which has caused him to undergo many surgeries all throughout his childhood. Because of this, he never attended school. The novel starts at a point where his mum thinks he should be enrolled into Middle School.

I originally picked this up because it kept getting placed next to The Fault in Our Stars in bookshops because of the blue and white feel, you know? And I kept looking at it because that cover is oh so intriguing and so, one day, I just threw my stuff down and bought it. That was the best decision I've ever made.
