  • Ms. Achman recommends Wonder by R.J. Palacio, a  middle-grade novel about August "Auggie" Pullman, a boy with a severe facial difference who enters a mainstream fifth-grade class for the first time at Beecher Prep. Told from multiple perspectives, the story explores themes of empathy, bullying, friendship, and acceptance as Auggie navigates school and his community learns to see past his appearance.
