Wonder, by R. J. Palacio
Everyone must read this book. It's a great story with a universal message, and it really makes one think about how we treat others. The Golden Rule comes to mind. Augie is a boy who was born with numerous facial deformities. By the time he's 10 years old, he's had many surgeries and looks very different from other children his age, though he does not suffer from mental or emotional development disorders. He's been homeschooled, but chooses to go to a regular private school for his 5th grade year, knowing that there are many issues he will have to deal with once he is there. Wonder is a truly inspiring story about family, friendship, and the importance of treating other people with respect and kindness.
