Wonder
by R. J. Palacio
R. J. Palacio's Wonder follows Auggie Pullman, a fifth grader with a facial difference, through his first year at a mainstream school. It's a coming-of-age novel that passes the narration around several characters to ask a plain question: is ordinary kindness really as hard as we keep making it?
