A lot of times, the cover alone is what draws me to a book. That was the case for this book. I purchased it at our school Scholastic book sale because the cover and synopsis intrigued me. I have boys that are 11 and 12 and I work at our middle school/high school, so I am familiar with how cruel kids can be. I wanted to see how the author tackled this delicate subject and how realistic she portrayed the classmates. This is Palacio’s first novel and I will be watching for future ones from her.This story broke my heart and as a mom, I tried to imagine myself in the mom’s position. Would I have been brave enough to send him “like a lamb to slaughter” as his dad said, or decide it was time he was in the “real world”? For many years, Auggie was protected by his family on outings and his face was only shown when necessary. He wore an astronaut helmet, a hat, or kept his hair long to hide himself from the public. When others saw him, their expressions ranged from shock to horror. The doctor himself fainted when Auggie was born. This type of facial deformation is beyond my imagination and reading stories like this make me appreciate that we were blessed with healthy children. Auggie is a bright and witty child quick with a one-liner and once he had the chance to be himself, others fell in love with him. But, do we give kids like Auggie that chance? One of my favorite lines from Auggie in the book is when he is meeting some students from his new school and one of the asks why he hasn’t gotten plastic surgery. Auggie replied, “This is after surgery!”. This was the perfect way to lighten the mood and show Auggie’s true personality.
The book is told through short chapters and in parts told from each character’s perspective.
