Wonder

Synopsis from Goodreads:

"I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?"

Wonder is a simple written book, made for all ages. The story touches a lot of themes such as (but not limited to) family, friendship, courage and kindness, all encircling one main character. I love how the author included different points of view from different characters connected to Auggie because it gave a diversity to the story, adding a different perspective, depth and realizations. Although the vocabulary wasn't that deep (for adults), it still was able to tug some emotions while I was reading the book, themes that are basic to each and everyone of us. I learned quite a few precepts from the story, those that would definitely be fitting to the modern life that we now live, reminding us to never forget our very essence, which is to be humans, in a very fast-paced world of cyberspace and technology.
