This book is heartwarming, sad at times, inspiring, and relatable. It teaches the importance of never judging a book by its cover and learning to look past someone's outward appearance, because it's the inside appearance that matters. Fifth grader Auggie Pullman is just like every other kid. He has a family. He likes ice cream. He’s a Star Wars fanatic. But there is one thing about Auggie that differentiates him from his peers: he is facially different. So when he attended Beecher Prep for the first time, he was expecting the worst. Of course there are difficulties getting through middle school and bullies, but Auggie is courageous. He even makes a few friends. Life isn’t easy for Auggie, but with his family and friends, he is able to overcome the difficulties and keep on looking forward. This book was incredible! No wonder it got so many awards. It is all about being yourself and standing up for what you believe in and the people around you. It is so motivating. This book leaves the reader amazed, proud, and encouraged. It truly does teach that you can do anything and everything. Fitting in doesn’t matter when you are being yourself. Because “you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out”.
