♺uggie’s face is not fully described until quite far on in the story, in Via’s chapter ‘August: Through the Peephole’. When they were on the field trip, I liked that August's friends stood up for him. When the other kids started breaking away from Julian realizing that he's wrong When Julian's mom cut Auggie out of the school pictures. Julian asked in front of him in a rude way 'did you walk through a fire?' I think it was rude for Julian to say 'this is an eraser', saying that he thought Auggie didn't know anything because he looks different, like he's dumb or something.

People walking around someone who is handicapped is rude. Most people look away because they can't help it and it's rude to stare. When I went to Disney World and someone was staring at someone else, I made sure not to stare at them. I looked away but now that I know that it would make them feel bad.

I haven't done that but if I did and then read this book, I would be ashamed of myself. I've never that way but if I had, I would probably feel bad for what I did and regret it. The author wrote this book because of an incident that happened at a store. Have you ever been in a situation where you have responded like this to seeing someone different? Having now read Wonder, how do you feel about this now?

Throughout Wonder, Auggie describes the way that many people react to seeing his face for the first time: by immediately looking away.

When I first saw it, before I ever read it, I thought it was called Eye Wonder because of the art of the cover. I would think it would be a boring book, just about one thing.

I didn't read the book but I had seem it before and it made me feel nervous about reading it. It would make me wonder what it's about. We are all the same on the inside and didn't choose to look that way. It makes sense for that to be on the back of the book because that's what it's about. What do you think of the line ‘Don’t judge a boy by his face’ which appears on the back cover of the book? Did this affect how much you wanted to read the story?
