Wonder is a book about Auggie Pullman, a 10-year-old boy born with a facial deformity, struggling to navigate public school in the US. Although his family loves him for who he is, he gets bullied by his classmates.
My favourite character in the book is Summer Dawson. Let me tell you why. During lunch, Auggie sat alone. Summer’s friends saw Auggie and teased him. Summer didn’t like that, so she went to Auggie’s table and became friends with him. I loved that she always stood up for Auggie whenever he was bullied.
Another thing I admire about Summer is her fearlessness, about how she’s not afraid of being friends with someone who has a special condition. She was really brave for doing that. If I were Summer, I would do the same as she did. To not judge Auggie for who he is and treat him respectfully.
It teaches me to do the same in real life as well. I would accept him for who he is because everyone is unique in their own way.
After reading this book, it made me reflect on how we should treat others. It made me realise that accepting differences is important in maintaining relationships.
In conclusion, Wonder is a fantastic book for those who would like to learn about the power of kindness, empathy and love.
