Wonder. August's Lesson by R.J. Palace
This is a book that talks about a boy who was born
with a deformation on his face.
This boy is called August his mother always taught him
at home but when he was ten his parents enrolled him in school.
in the book he talks about how bad it felt to be
judged and at the same time leads us to reflect that one never knows how the
other person can feel and that we should not judge others by their appearance.
When August goes to school, he faces many children who
can sometimes be very cruel and that's when nobody wanted to play or even talk
to him.
August finds it difficult to adapt but not impossible
and in the end he manages to have friends and feel good about himself
This book is very nice since it leads us to reflect on
not judging people by their appearance as they may be extraordinary people like
August.
I really liked this book and I recommend it.
