This was a lovely heartwarming story that all kids should read. It's true kids struggle with people who look different but hearing the perspective of someone who is and what they feel and go through should help a lot.
Auggie was so genuine and beautifully written, his voice was young but mature and I loved his growth throughout! Only a few things bothered me, while I loved Via's chapter, her boyfriend's (whose name I've forgotten) and Miranda's seemed more pointless, and Jack's, honestly it would have been better being single persepective.
I wish they'd been more specific regarding Summer's background, she's physically described as being blonde if I recall yet mention is made, referencing a photo, that she's biracial. I feel like it would help kids who struggle with dual identity to know what she is specifically. Summer is such a great character, kind and implied to be smart, that she'd be a great role model for kids reading this book.
Overall I loved this book and it's writing and I wish it had been longer but I understand it covers a single school year.
