Has anyone read the YA book Wonder and it’s sequel Auggie & Me? Someone at work brought them for me but I’m not sure I can get through them. My heart is already breaking for the little boy! And I’m only at the very beginning. I cry at everything!
I’ve read Wonder! Stick with it, so good!
I’ve read Wonder and loved it! Have some tissues nearby.
I cry very easily but did not cry for this book until the end! It’s that good!
It it definitely a tear-jerker but so good and completely inspiring.
Me? I’m maybe 15 pages into Wonder and ready to cry just imagining how he will be treated in his new school! I will read it at home with tissues!
I am reading Wonder right now.
I read Wonder and loved it, although I agree that it is difficult in parts. It’s so well written though and such a good story really, that you should try to keep going. I have not read the sequel.
Worth the tears!
Thank you all for the encouragement. I am well over halfway through. Very well written but it seems like the kids are older than 5th grade! I will finish it tonight.

Wonder is my number one favorite read-aloud with my fifth grade students each year. It leads to such great discussions! And yes, I do have to fight back tears as I’m reading to my class. 😉 Another fantastic YA book is Because of Mr Terupt.
Loved Because of ….too!!
Yes I read both and enjoyed them. It’s okay to cry! Augie & Me gives a different perspective of the minor characters in Wonder that I thought added depth.
