Beskrivning
Set in a world that often overlooks the extraordinary in favor of the ordinary, the narrative revolves around a boy named August Pullman, who has a facial difference that sets him apart from his peers. His journey encapsulates the struggle between longing for acceptance and the stark reality of being different. As August transitions from homeschooling to attending a mainstream school, he faces the challenges of bullying, friendship, and personal growth.
As he navigates the complexities of fifth grade, the perspectives of those around him unfold, allowing readers to see the impact of August's presence on his classmates, family, and friends. Each character's experience offers a rich tapestry of emotions, from the joy of budding friendships to the pain of misunderstanding and fear. Through their eyes, the importance of empathy and kindness is illuminated.
The story emphasizes the theme of inner beauty versus outward appearances, encouraging readers to look beyond the surface. It prompts a profound reflection on the values of compassion and acceptance, elevating the narrative to a universal level that resonates with all ages.
With heartfelt moments and tough lessons, the tale celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of friendship. It's a touching tribute to the idea that everyone has their own battles to face, and that true wonder lies in embracing each individual's unique journey.

Recensioner
Is an enjoyable book, makes you think more about the kids that are seen as "outsiders" in school and how they feel and how difficult theyre life may be but the book also speaks from differnt people's experience of the main character.
