Wonder Movie Tie-In by R. J. Palacio - Paperback

This is an amazing novel which will resonate with all children starting, or in their first year, at secondary school as it deals with feeling the-odd-one-out, changing group dynamics and seeing issues from more than one point of view. Using basic vocabulary, it is easy to read, even though there are several Americanisms which won't be a problem for adolescents! The additional chapters in this publication about the making of the film were also interesting.

This is an absolutely brilliant story so it was quite a disappointment that the actor’s voice used for Auggie was so ill matched. A raspy, Marge Simpson sounding voice made this audio recording intolerable to listen to as a family. I was hoping to gift this to my child’s school but won’t be able to due to the quality.

Very happy with the Item

A well produced book purchased for school. Eye catching cover and apparently easy to read.

This is such a amazing book! I admit that I was wiping away tears. The movie tie in edition is pretty good.The book is about a boy names August "Auggie" Pullman, who was born with Teachers Collins syndrome or a variation of it, and means that his face does not look regular. After being homeschool until 5th grade his parents decide to send him to middle school. Auggie has to deal with friends, bullies, being ostracized by the school. We learn about his life from the perspective of his sister, her boyfriend, her girlfriend, two of his friends and him himself. I won't spoil the book, so you'll have to read it yourself:)But its a amazing book, and I highly recommend reading 'Wonder' and all of the other books connected like 'Auggie and me', 'Mr browns precepts', 'White bird' and a few other books linked.Please read!
