August Pullman was born with a facial difference, that up until now has stopped him from going to a regular school. He is starting fifth grade at Beecher Prep - but he wants nothing more than to be treated like an ordinary kid. His classmates however can't get past his extraordinary face.
If you could take one thing away from this book is CHOOSE KINDNESS every single time it's not that hard to be kind to someone. I have read the book, now I just need to watch the movie. This book is a great read for all ages. This book makes you feel so many emotions. This book makes you want to cry, be happy, also mad at the other kids for picking on him. In the end he ended up being just like any other kid, he left notes in peoples locker he mades friends with other kids. Everyone should be teaching there kids to be kind to other no matter what they have or how they act, it's not that hard to be nice to someone. August is the sweetest kid ever and he just wanted to make friends and go to a normal school and be a normal kid. There is a specific target audience for this book, but I feel honestly anyone can read this book and just enjoy it and love it. This book would be a good gift for someone going into middle school, because there will be more kids and kids that are going to be different than them. This book will make you feel all shorts of things. I loved our main character August and I liked a lot of the other characters as well. The principal was the sweetest and just wanted the best for August. His speech was also amazing at the graduation for the kids, telling them they all needed to be kind to one another and how it does not take much to be kind.
They should make this book a required reading book for Elementary/Middle schools, honestly even high schools because some kids could learn something from this book.
I have been trying to read more books that handle disabilities. I am also an Educational Assistant, plus it's always great to see it from a different perspective. I just bought a couple of books last week that have a main character with a disability and I am very keen and interested to read them.
