Wonder by R.J. Palacio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of the best books I have read this year, really, really amazing.  A must read for parents, teachers, principals,  high school,  and middle school students. It is a challenge for many new 4th graders, but would probably be o.k. for spring 4th graders.  I have my friend, Mrs. Landrigan, to thank for recommending this book to me.  I laughed, I cried, I couldn't stop reading, and finished it in one day!!!!  The book begins with a quote from one of my favorite Natalie Merchant songs and held my interest until the last word.  I kept wanting more, and these characters will stay with me for a while. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the author told the story from the point of view of the different characters, it helped me get a unique perspective on the story.  Don't miss out on one of the best books of the year, put it on your summer reading list, if you can wait that long!!
