I just finished reading Wonder by
R.J. Palacio. It was such a lovely story. Though it's for children, I think it's a novel that both kids and adults will appreciate equally. Auggie, the main character, was born with a severe facial deformity that's kept him from going to school--until now. As he enters the 5th grade (a tough year for anyone), we see his experiences through several different lenses. It's so poignant, I just wanted to hug each one of the narrators. Book trailer below.
