Wonder

Wonder is a book about a boy named August by R.J. Palacio. His nick name is Auggie. It is realistic fiction because this story could happen in real life. In this book Auggie is going to school for the first time. His face is deformed. He has a sister, mom, dad, and a dog named Daisy. He goes to visit his school before school starts. He is going into the fifth grade. When he goes to look at the school  some kids come to meet him and welcome him to Beecher Prep. There names are Charlotte, Jack Will, and Justin. The principal Mr. Tushman asks them to give a tour around the school. Julian says mean things while they go on the tour, but Jack and Charlotte are nice. They look at most of the rooms and then Auggie leaves.

When summer is over Auggie goes to school. When he goes to school he goes to school everyone is scared of how he looks. Jack is nice though. He sits next him in all the classes they have together. At lunch a girl named Summer sits next to him who is really pretty and nice they end up sitting next to each other for the rest of the year. Miles and Henry are also mean who are friends with Justin and Amos who is a little bit mean.

On Halloween Auggie dresses up as a bleeding scream and Jack tells Julian that he wouldn’t be friends with Auggie, but Mr. Tushman told him to be friendly. Auggie heard that and at lunch told Summer and told her to keep it a secret. Auggie wouldn’t really talk to him and Jack became suspicious and asked Summer why he wasn’t talking. Summer didn’t tell, but gave him a hink which was bleeding scream. Jack didn’t understand what she meant first but then figured it out. He said sorry to Auggie and then forgave each other. They were friends again.

Every year at Beecher Prep there was a camping trip for the fifth. This year it was Auggie’s turn to go on the trip. Most of the fifth graders went, but Julian didn’t go. One night there school went to watch a movie outside with other schools and Jack had to the bathroom, but the lines were too long so they went to the woods. When they went they bumped into some sixth graders from another school. There reaction was the same as everyone else, but they did something else that no one else did they beat him up and Jack got beaten up too, but something good happened Miles, Amos and Henry must have gone to the bathroom too because they came defend them and helped Auggie up to run. They ran as fast as they could, but Auggie’s hearing aids were gone. They tried to look for them and they found broken pieces.The sixth graders got a new one since they beat them up. After that Miles, Amos, and Henry were best friends with Auggie and Jack and Julian switched schools.

Julian is mean. For example “You thought his name was Jackwill.” laughed Julian. Another example is he said “What’s the deal with your face? I mean were you in a fire or something.” That shows Julian is mean.

The life lesson is it doesn’t matter how someone  looks. For example lots of people were bullying August for how he looks, but he was actually really nice when you knew him.

Wonder is one of my favorite books and recommend it to you. My favorite character is Summer. Comment if you read Wonder and if you liked and who’s your favorite character.

 

One thought on “Wonder

  1. Dear Elizabeth,
    I really enjoyed reading your post and thought it was incredible and very interesting. I read Wonder too and I agree with you the book is outstanding. If I saw someone like auggie and hadn’t read the book I’d probably get a little freaked out too. Julian was so mean. I had never thought that a fifth grader could be so criticising and rude even though auggie is very nice. I really think that Julian should of given Auggie a chance. My favorite part of the story was when they took the field trip I thought that it was very exciting and made me very eager to read more. What was your favorite part of the story?

    Love,Ellie
