Ian T, Wonder

Hey Jackie~

I just finished Wonder and I really enjoyed the book a lot! I really liked how the book kept you thinking all the time about how August looks and the way August feels about things. I also really liked how the book pretty much gave you a character to hope for and think about, but it also had a lot of other characters in the book. Have you finished the book and if so what did you think about it?

I really liked how this copy was a special edition because it included how Julian was feeling and how Julian’s character really played a big role in the book. i liked that part because the whole book I was against Julian since he was so mean to August, but then after reading that part about him I had second thoughts. It turned out that Julian was just scared of August that’s why he was so mean to him. Not that that gives him an excuse or anything for being so mean to him in anyway.

I think I liked Wonder a lot more than A Mango Shaped Space because A Mango Shaped Space was a pretty slow book and Wonder was fast moving and it was relate-able. Wonder was very relate-able for me because I’m in middle school and I’ve had a dog that has died. In A Mango Shaped Space I could only relate to when her cat died but other than that I can’t see colors like she could and i couldn’t see the other things that she saw either.

My most favorite part of the whole entire book was when Jack, Amos and Henry stood up for August at their field trip to see the movie. What was your favorite part? I really liked that part because even though the boys weren’t really on “August’s side” they still helped him through the issue August was having. Over all I really enjoyed this book and i hope you did/ will too! I hope to hear back from you soon!
