Wow! Okay, so I know everyone has given this great reviews, the trailer for the movie looked cute, and I've heard about and seen this book everywhere I go but I did not think that I would love this book as much as I did! I thought it was going to be a sweet, heartwarming story about acceptance, and it was, but it was so much better than that too. Auggie and his family (Yes, FAMILY, there is so much family in this book, a pleasant surprise for a middle-grade book) are the best. I wish I had met this family when I was in school. The book is told from multiple characters perspectives and it really allows you to see both sides of the stories that unfold throughout this book. It gives it a really realistic and intimate feel. I clearly loved this book and I can't recommend it enough!
