i like the book its really good and relatable because there are kids like auggie and people shouldn’t just judge people on how they look and i can’t wait to see the movie that is coming out

I believe Wonder is as real as a story can get. It is a story about a kid with a facial Deformation. And that stuff does Happen in real life. August goes through many tough challenges that in real life many people do face. He faces the dangers of making friends and fitting in like we do. Wonder may be a book but it does face real life challenges everyday people face.

I don’t think wonder is as realistic as it could be, like for instance they at least so far haven’t talked about any anger august would have in reality, I think he would be quite angry at the world and himself for how he looks. I also sort of feel like his own character is very developed but he at least to me doesn’t show real emotions that would exist with his issues in life, in a whole I think it closely shows what he would be like in reality but it does not fully

  I disagree with you because there is at least one kid who is kind and excepts them for who they are and not what they look like. When Jack tells Julian that he doesn’t like hanging out with August, when he actually does, It really hurt August. And there was when he was crying to his mom, He asked why he was so ugly and why no one liked him. He was Angry and Sad. Its really realistic to me, There is Peer Pressure, Bullying, and Emotions.

Wonder seems pretty real life to me. They explain a lot in the book and some of it seems like it came from somewhere in real life. Its a good book and I would gladly meet the people in the book. Its in my opinion and if don’t agree then okay.
