Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, is a book about a young boy with a facial deformity. I have only begun this book, but so far the boy, August, is going to school for the first time. With a face that malfunctioned at birth, he had never gone to school because of being looked at oddly or being treat differently. But August and his parents feel that he is finally ready to go to school. Even though he is extremely nervous, he enjoys being at school and only had one... not so great encounter about his face. I'm very excited to see how the rest of this book goes, it's great so far!
