Wonder
Age 9+
Auggie was born with a severe facial deformity that leaves him looking a lot different than the other kids, and Wonder chronicles his first experience attending school.
My niece who struggles to enjoy reading read this and was so proud of herself for reading and loving it. I had to read it after she raved about it and I'm so glad I did. What a great story.
I recently finished reading this. My 9yo and husband read it too. Trying to convince my 2nd grader to read it, but he's not on board yet. Such a great message to be learned by all from this book!
This is a family favorite in our house! Such a wonderful message! Can't wait to see the movie too!
My kids read (and loved) this around 2nd and 4th grade, but I think it's a great one to revisit in middle school, too. It's a powerful book that teaches empathy, acceptance, and to look beyond outward appearances. My kids especially loved that it's told from the perspective of a variety of different characters.
Grab some tissues: this eye opening, heartwarming story is one of the must-read books for middle schoolers.
