August Pullman is one of the greats. Great character, great story, and great transformation. Sometimes I hold off from reading something with such a following but I’m glad I finally got around to this. I want to be a part of Auggie’s family – as I’m sure every single person who read this does. The warm, nostalgic, vibrant feeling that these characters give off is rare and brilliant.

A heartwarming story about a young boy with a defected face. As a someone with a brother who has a learning disability this story hits rather close to home. Kids are mean. People don't understand when they are being hurtful or some just don't care.
August Pullman deals with this daily just because he looks a certain way. Starting at a new middle school changes his life and the life of many others. Things start out rough for him. But through friendships and certain events things might turn around ...more

Auggie Pullman didn't look like other kids when he was born. Even after numerous surgeries during his childhood, he still definitely stands out, so his parents homeschooled him. We meet Auggie when he's about to enter 5th grade at Beecher Prep for the very first school experience of his life. It's hard enough being the new kid at school, but when you add in Auggie's extraordinary appearance, it is monumentally challenging. We follow Auggie all through 5th grade, challenges and triumphs included.

Simply inspirational. I cried several times, and wanted to be able to reach inside the book to Auggie's world to hug him tightly and to pat the "kind" characters on the back. I truly hope and believe that the kids who read this book will look at their classmates a little differently and choose to be kind. I love how various sections of the book were narrated by different characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
