I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER , now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy . In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

这是一本小孩和大人都应该看的故事,我们都应该学习如何不单从外表或者说是带有色眼镜去看人,我们也许都忘记了善良是人的重要修养了,我们每个人常常披着厚重的外壳出门抵御外界也封锁了自己的内心;所以也很庆幸这个小男孩最后收获的是幸福,也很荣幸他拥有一位这么优秀的母...

评分Wonder,这本小说能让看得人相信才是真正的Wonder。很多的转折都让人奇怪,没有过程描述,Miranda和Via突然好了。但是这还敌不上主角本身的光环。首先原来不喜欢他的Jack突然觉得他不错,然后所有人突然都不支持欺负他(书中只用几句话说明这一情况),还很有义气地挺身而出,更可怕的是最后毫无顾忌地与他拍照……当然via一段自白实在是太经典了!

评分非常暖心的一本儿童小说。由于基因问题而天生面貌迥异于常人的August, 在10岁的时候第一次去普通的学校读书。带着忐忑不安和按捺不住的兴奋和期许,August 认识了许多新朋友。而这些“新朋友”就像是一个个缩小的社会人,影射着人与人之间的矛盾,冲突,理解和支持。在面临朋友的“背叛”时,August 首先想到的是讨厌学校,是逃避。他的姐姐Via说,“ unless you want to be treated like a baby the rest of your life, or like a kid with special needs, you just have to suck it up and go." 勇气和成长是一生的话题,需要不断的学习和努力,才能成为想要变成的人。
