The first book in the series has the title Wonder and I stumbled across it 2 years ago, just because I was intrigued by the cover!
Wow, what a find!!!!!
It is a book which takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. Auggie, the main character, was born with a facial deformity and this story tells of his first introduction to high school after being home schooled. We meet some truly despicable characters who you will take an instant dislike to, but we also hear the story from friends and family and how Auggie's story affects them.
I couldn't put this book down and can't recommend it highly enough. We had just 3 copies in the library but in 2 months every child in our Year 6 had borrowed it, read it and loved it!
The story doesn't end there...the author has now published 3 further book 'chapters' - The Julian Chapter, Pluto, Shingaling, which are all only available on e-book. These chapters have expanded on the characters perspectives surrounding the original storyline.
Overall I would really recommend this series - for ages 10 upwards.
