Wonder is one of those books that everyone should read, because everyone can learn from it. Yes it's about 10 year olds, but we all can learn more about being emphatic to others. I do hope that this becomes required reading in the middle grades, because we've all been there and we all know that kids can be mean and hurtful.

I would have rated it higher except for one thing that really upset me. I wont say what that is though. I liked The book so much other than that one part.
August was likeable and I liked his family quite a bit. I liked the teacher quite a bit as well.
Heartwarming and charming with some sad parts in it.

My kid wanted to read this book, so I picked it up and laughed and cried and felt like a little kid all over again. We could all stand to be more kind.

This is such a sweet story, very well told. Please note that it is Juvenile Fiction, perfect for the upper elementary to early teen readers.

Palacio was able to give voice to all perspectives, from strangers to long time family friends. Honest and believable. It's a mild spoiler, but for parents who are interested, this has a good ending. No ending like The Elephant Man

I loved this story so much! I cried so many times! This is a must read for everyone!
Excellent middle school book about kids and the simple act of being kind.
This book makes me believe in the goodness of humanity.
