Wonder by R.J. Palacio. "I stole this book from the hands of my 9 year old and would not give it back until I finished. August is a boy with a severe facial deformity going to public school for the first time. There, he must navigate friendships and taunts, dealing with the cruelty of children and their socially manipulative parents. Through it all, he is a good person, treasuring his family and friendships and trying hard to be normal. A heartwarming story with a message everyone, regardless of age, about acceptance and tolerance."
