June 12, 2012 Kids On KidLit No Comments

Wonder Wonder by R.J Palacio (@RJPalacio for Twitter fans)

“My book was about a kid named August “Auggie”
Pullman whose face was deformed when he was born. He has been through many
surgeries but no matter what they do, they can’t do anything about his face.
August has a sister named Olivia “Via” who is very protective of him.
Summer was no doubt my favorite character because she reminds me a lot of
myself. She’s kind, caring, friendly, and also very pretty. My least favorite
character was Julian. He was the mean kid at Beecher Prep. (The main setting) A
few adjetives that come to my mind when I hear his name are arrogant, rude,
unfriendly, and undisiplined. I laughed through this book, I cried through this
book, I laughed while crying through this book. This was the first book I’ve
ever read by R.J. Palacio but I plan to read many more. My book was Wonder and
now you know all about it.”
