2014 DCF Winner

And the winner is...

WONDER

BY

P.J. PALACIO

I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.  

This is how the book, Wonder, by P.J. Palacio opens, and these are the words that August Pullman uses to describe his face. Born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school all August wants is to be treated as an ordinary kid, but his new 5th grade classmates at Beecher Prep, can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face.

This book is an extraordinary read. One student at Oak Grove said it was the "...best book he EVER read". Chosen as the Vermont Reads book by the Vermont Humanities Council, I'll bet many other are agreeing with our student.

Try it for yourself!
