Wonder- Book and Movie Review!

Today I took the kids to see the movie "Wonder." I read the book this week and my daughter read it at school this school year.

The book was a quick and fast read because it was so good! I was drawn in from the start. I liked how short the chapters were and that the book was sectioned out by characters which provided a viewpoint of that character.

The author developed the characters very well and anyone who reads can't help but think about being kind more! I think my favorite character was the cool teacher who really challenged the students with mottos and positive sayings. I know since I am a teacher it was easier to relate to him.

On to the movie... bring tissues! It was a great movie that leaves you with a lasting message of be kind to one another. A message we all need to hear more of.

I was disappointed they left out the whole hearing aide part of the story as well as getting a new puppy at the end. So minor differences
