    wonder is an amazing movie that i have watched many times.
    it is about a boy who was born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a normal school, Auggie Pullman becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to discover their compassion and acceptance, Auggie’s extraordinary journey will unite them and prove you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

  4. August Pullman has always been different from the moment he was born. Face-wise. And now he has to start school, without his parents and big sister Vi. But when people look at him, all they seem to see is his face, not his warm heart.
    I think that this book is really sad and emotional, but delivers the important matter not to judge people by their look, and accept everyone. I reccomend this book to ages 10+ and rate it 10/10.

    After watching the most amazing movie wonder, i could not believe how much i took out of that movie and how much i loved it. It was one of the best movies ever made and very inspiring for teenagers and younger kids too. This movie is about a young boy auggie who is has a very uncommon genetic and condition that causes his face to look a little bit different. He finally starts at school after being homeschooled his whole life and he was getting extremely bullied at his new school, but luckly he thought he found his best friend jack. Auggie and Jack are best friends until one day auggie accidentally hears jack saying some extremely mean things about auggie, on his favourite day of the year halloween. Auggie finds it very hard to find comfort at school. I rate this movie an 8/10.

    This movie Wonder, is one of my all time favourite movie. This movie is equally as great as the book. I love how this movie is about accepting people and who they are and learning to treat every person the same. I was in tears when I watched the movie and I felt so angry and the mean kids. I love the storyline too it is amazing! I love how Auggie just blocks out the mean kids and continues on with life

    I recommend the movie to kids 8+. it teaches us how to be nice and accept all different people. I rate this movie a 10/10 i gotta say its the best and the book WONDER should become a book that is on the book list.

    Just remember to read the book before watching the movie!

    Love, love, love this movie! It is actually my favourite movie! My primary school took our year level to go see this movie when I was in year 4 (2017). The storyline of this story is incredible and it gives us a lot of messages about bullying and life.
    In this Movie, I love the way they include his family and how it is shown from other peoples point of views. My Favourite part of this movie is the Halloween at school scene. It just shows that the kids at his school truely do judge him because of his face deformation. While he is in the mask, the school kids don’t know who it is.
    I would definitely recommend this movie and if movie’s aren’t your thing, the book is just as good! 10/10 would watch over and over again!

  8. Wonder is an amazing movie. I absolutely loved it. It is such an inspirational movie, and I would definitely watch it again. Once I read the book I knew that i had to watch the movie as soon as it came out. That’s exactly what i did and let me tell you I wasn’t disappointed. This movie would definitely be one of my favourites, and I would highly recommend it. If you haven’t already watched Wonder, you need to watch it now. You won’t be disappointed. I rate it a 9/10.

  9. Wonder is an emotional movie about a boy named Auggie who has facial deformities. And because of it, he gets bullied and struggles to make friends. There were a lot of bits in the movie that were really sad and I almost cried while watching it. But it’s cool as well because you get to see the movie through a few different perspectives such as his sister Via, Via’s best friend Miranda, and Auggie’s friend Jack Will. This movie is probably relatable to some people out there who might have the same problems as Auggie. But what I find really sad is that this happens in real life. And I hate how people are bullied for looking a little different because in my opinion, everybody is different, nobody is “normal”, and that’s okay. But I really liked the storyline of this movie and I think it’s really good.

    I give it a 10/10 I HIGHLY recommend you watch it!

    This movie is absolutely heart breaking. It follows themes of bullying, discrimination, and friendship. The storyline is extremely well written and it is an emotional roller coaster. Julia Roberts playing the concerned over protective mom does a phenomenal job in this role. Shockingly I think this is one of those rare situations where the movie is better than the book. I would recommend this movie to ages 11+ and I would give it an 8/10

    The movie wonder is such an emotional rollercoaster and a truly inspirational and heartwarming movie. This movie is about a boy called Auggie Pullman who was an incredibly kind, smart little boy with a facial deformity and because of this, he got bullied. Auggie eventually finds himself surrounded with true friends who accept him for who he is. I think almost everyone will be able to relate to this movie in one way or another about feeling left out or insecure about something. This movie was not only from the perspective of Auggie the main character, but other characters that play important roles in the movie. This is really interesting because you get to see the bigger picture and how all the characters are thinking. This movie is truly inspiring and has a great message about acceptance, understanding, appreciating people for who they are, and the power of friendship. I recommend this film for people aged 8+ and rate it a 9/10.

  12. Wonder is truly an inspirational movie about a little boy who isn’t accepted by others because of the way he looks. Auggie, the main character teachers the viewers a lot about strength and resilience as we follow along his journey as he starts at his brand new school with nobody he knows. Auggie meets many people, some kinder than others, who play a big role in him finding more about who he is and developing the strength to fight the bullies. I personally liked the book more as opposed to the movie as you get to find out more about each of the characters and learn a bit about their pasts as well. However, I do recommend this movie for anyone who wants to get lost along a journey and you’ll find yourself never getting sick of it no matter how many times you watch it.

    The movie wonder is about a boy called Auggie Pullman who was not seen as normal. He started off being homeschool because he was too afraid. Soon after his mum decided that it was time to start school. This is a sad movie but i really do recommend it because there is a good story and a great message. A quote that stood out to me was a quote that Auggie got told by his big sister Via “you can’t blend in when your born to stand out.” Overall This is a really great book that i 100% recommend.

    I actually quite loved this movie, I personally haven’t read the book but I have heard it is quite similar. I love the different perspectives because that’s how life really is, everyone has a different side to the story. This movie has multiple morals and teaches you differences really just don’t matter if you look at the big picture. My favourite character situation is with the sister and her best friend it honestly shows you so much can change because of situations we have no control over and also teaches you to be grateful for what we have. Overall I 100% recommend this movie it is a truly inspiring story that isn’t too sad but really heartfelt that makes you feel good at the end of it.

    I instantly fell in love with this movie. This had a fantastic story line, it has plenty of life lessons throughout it and inspiring. It will have you in laughs and tears! A boy named Auggie who was not seen as “normal” to most people. He had a face deformation, nevertheless, he could still speak, hear and act like a normal person. In fact, he was extremely smart! Poor Auggie got bullied, and him starting school for the first time at age 11, made it worse. He goes through several ups and downs through his first year of school. Auggie Pullman had to be so extremely brave and determined, and teaches everyone that even if you have something you don’t like about yourself, you can still fit in in the end, and everyone will still love you! 10/10, YOU MUST WATCH IT!!

  18. wonder is such a sad movie. although you need a whole box of tissues next to you, you will also laugh. this movie is made after the book called ‘Auggie and me’ which shows the perspectives in which people live who have relationships with Auggie. it shows the hardships and fun they experience with him and the movie is similar. Auggie has a deformed face. he is so insecure about his condition all he wants to do is wear an astronaut helmet to cover it up. although is sister, mum and dad all think he is perfect, he does not think so. this movie will follow Auggie’s journey which is very different from most people and is a really beautiful adventure that has a lot of bumps along the way. I would recommend this film to anyone who loves a good cry with family and friends. this movie is a 7/10!

  20. I saw the movie wonder 2 years ago ever since it has been my favourite movie. August Pullman is a 10 year old boy from north river heights, New York. He was born with facial differences that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a school. he becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters fifth grade. my favourite part is at the end when he won the henry ward Beecher Medal. he doubts himself about his face. he then gets bullied a lot in the which puts him down when he sees some of his class mate talking behind his back on halloween. he got very upset when this happened and couldn’t celebrate his favourite holiday. for me that part of the movie is really sad because the time he feels normal he finds people talking about him. I feel sorry for his sister because she doesn’t get much attention but her grandma always told her she will always be her favourite no matter what. I love that at the start of the movie he hated school and had no friends and at the end of the movie he loved school and had some good friends. I think he couldn’t over got to where he is today if he didn’t have his family they are so supportive and caring towards Auggie. I highly Recommend to watch it if you haven’t it is a true story that makes your day.

    This movie is an amazing heartwarming movie! I had read the beautiful book prior to this movie and the movie was even more amazing. The movie is about a boy called August Pullman or Auggie pullman. He has a face deformation and has many surgeries because of it, he was homeschooled his whole life because of it. Auggie decides he wants to go to a real school, although he is afraid of what people will think of him. He meets some not so great people in school and some nice people. He has lots of good and bad experiences, I won’t spoil what happens next but this movie is a 10/10! This is a very emotional movie and I recommend it to 10+ ages. You definitely should watch this!

    Wonder is a truly inspiring movie to anybody who has been bullied, it is a very empowering movie about a little boy who suffers from a genetic condition that makes him look different to other kids his age, he has been honeschooled his whole life but eventually finds the courage to start up as a student at a local school. The first few weeks were tough for Auggie but he managed to get through it and made some friends along the way. This movie is absolutely heartwarming and may bring out a few tears but it is a very touching story that needs to be heard by more people. It is an award winning movie that had everyone’s hearts captured. I would definetly recommend this book.

    Wonder is a movie released in 2017 and created by an American director. The heartwarming and emotional movie about bullying will leave you on a crying roller coaster of both happy and sad emotions. This movie teaches you important life lessons on bullying and the effects it has on people. After watching this movie I definitely had a different perspective on things. I would recommend year 7s to watch this movie because going into a high school can be challenging especially for someone facing other hardships in their life, the least you can do is be nice to them and show some respect despite whatever difference they have.

  25. I found this movie so inspiring how Auggie can find it within himself to give school a go. I loved when it was Auggie’s first day of school and he was so self conscious and his sister Olivia tells him “you can’t fit in when you are born to stand out”. Olivia mainly called Via cares so much for Auggie even when things are hard and she is getting disregarded [ignored] and it shows that she is a caring and selfless. I feel for Auggie when his new best friend Jack is caught red handed talking behind Auggie’s back to the school bully Julian. Julian is a self absorbed bully who doesn’t have the kindness to let Auggie in. This movie was quite sad and I cried most of the way I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who doesn’t fully believe in themself, needs a boost in there confidence or just likes a sad and inspiring movie.

  26. i really enjoyed the movie wonder because it was very sad and it had a happy ending. my favourite part was when auggie made a friend and they started hanging out together this just warmed my heart because it was hard for auggie to make friends because of his disability. my favourite character is auggie because you just want to be his friend cause he has gone through so much and he deserves to be happy and he is such a humble person. My least favourite part of the movie was when his new friend Jack said to everybody that auggie wasn’t his friend and that he was just hanging out with him because he felt bad. i would highly recommend this movie because it really touches the heart and gives you a warm feeling inside.

    Wonder is a life changing movie that give you an insight on how hard life can be , how those people keep their head held high and make the most of what they have got. I love this movie, it really was a great storyline, and all the charcters were portrayed extreamly well.

    The movie was based on a young boy Auggie Pullman who was dignosed with a face deformation when he was born. As a result of having a deformed face he is far from normal loooking , and struggled fitting in due to all the kids judging him on his looks. However once the kids got to know him more , he revealed his many layers, and the kids soon found that he has a lot more to offer despite his appearence.

    The best part that I loved about this movie was how Auggie put a smile on nearly everyones faces once they relised how much he has influenced their lives. Though the hardships he faced throughout his life he still always managed to overcome and live his best life.

    He was born to stand out not to fit in ! just like his sister quoted in the movie. This quote best represents the lesson they were trying to teach others by making this movie.
    The movie was very motivating that I recommend to anyone that love a good teary, life changing story\Movie.

    Wonder is an incredibly touching story. I have read the book and the following book ‘Auggie and Me’ and seen the movie which are all incredibly emotional and funny. It is one of my favourite movies and books. In this movie we follow the emotional story of August Pullman a young boy with a facial deformity, as he goes to public school for the first time after being home-schooled all his life. The movie shows their different perspectives of all the people close to Auggie during this time. We get to experience the struggles and difficulties and see the different emotions everyone was feeling. It is an eye opening and inspirational movie that I recommend to everyone above the age of 8. I truly love this movie and I give it an 10/10.

  29. A stunningly beautiful tale of a boy and his reality follows Auggie Pullman who is a boy with a deformed face. Auggie faces the realities of being bullied because of typical gender in popularity norms. As a young boy who has never gone to school it is especially challenging for him to break out of the general school expectations. By facing bullying, the grading of self worth and loss of hope, Auggie learns that you can’t change who you are and you have to accept and love yourself. This creative film also follows the other minor characters and their stories regarding Auggie. With Olivia, his sister who feels like an outcast in the family, Miranda, Olivia’s friend who is changing and Jack Will his friend and the struggles of popularity they face through school together. Wonder tells the story of a truly wonderful boy and how he accepts him self to be different and embraces he’s charismatic beautiful self. If you want a tear jerking movie along with some laughs this is the movie to see, it is recommended for all ages as it’s a moral that everyone should learn. Wonder is absolutely fantastic and I would say that there is no fault in this film, an absolute 10 out of 10.

Auggie influenced everyone in and amazing way even though he dreaded his first day of school. he made friends and had good and bad experience. i think it is a great story that some people can connect to in at least one way. its great for people who find it easier to follow along with movies rather than books. Its great that everyone in the story has time to show there point of view and how they deal with different problems. The actors are perfect for the roles and they inspire anyone who is worried about starting school, dealing with insecurities and more. August is very inspirational. this movie made me laugh and everyone in my family cry.

  33. Wonder will make you cry and laugh, it is an emotional rollercoaster. Auggie will entertain you the whole way through. He was born with facial deformities, and he is starting school for the first time. Middle school.

    There are laughs, stares, pointing. People even made a cruel game where no one is allowed to touch Auggie. But he stays positive the whole way through. That is until his best mate betrays him. He gets depressed and starts giving up.

    The inspiring part is when he bounces back, stands up against the bullies and becomes popular.

    I would highly recommend this amazing, inspiring movie, but you should read the book first as it is much more detailed. 10/10!!!!

    Auggie Pullman has a severe face deformity, and he is starting middle school. There is staring, laughing, pointing, and even an extremely cruel game called The Plague, where nobody is allowed to touch Auggie.

  35. I have recently watched wonder and it’s a great movie. I think it was such a good story line and very detailing.
    It is basically about a boy called August/Auggie and he has something which is a face deformity. He was home schooled till he had to go to middle school, he was really nervous. He then met some people that were not very nice, Julian was a bully to Auggie, every spare minute Julian had he found sometime to mess around with him.
    He then finds one friend which is Jack they were like best friends, They played and everything. One day Auggie was by himself eating lunch and his friend Summer came and ate lunch with him.
    When Auggie was in class they had a project Auggie did not have anyone to do it with so Jack Will stood up and said I will be his partner so Julian did not have anyone. I think this movie is suitable for kids age 5+.
    I think this movie is a 9.5/10 and I loved it.

    I watched this movie last year for school, and as much as I love the story, I was kind of let down. It had some great actors and it was truly and amazing movie but it just didn’t capture the same magic as the book did. To be honest I didn’t actually cry in the movie because the only part (in the book) that makes me cry is when the dog dies but I feel like the movie just skipped through that like it was no big deal! Apart from that though it really is a great movie. Just a quick reminder… If you haven’t read the book do NOT watch the movie, it just ruins it for you. But I definitely recommend this movie.

  37. A while ago I watched the movie ‘Wonder’. It was an amazing movie and an amazing book. Wonder is such an inspirational and moving movie that I would watch again. There are the rich spoilt kids and the nice kids. Wonder shows how some peoples lives are getting bullied just because of something that you do or look. You can connect to Wonder i many different ways.

    Auggie has to face a lot in school and life. Auggie is brave, smart and funny even though people are rude to him and make fun of him but he still finds the bright side of life and has fun which should remind us to do the same.

    Auggie is really inspirational but Olivia his sister is inspirational as well. One of my favourite quotes of hers is ‘You cant fit in when you were born to stand out.’ Overall I loved this movie and I would watch it again.

    Wonder is probably the most inspiring movie/book I have ever seen/read. It is about a young smart and intelligent boy named August (Auggie) with a face deformity. He was homeschooled until he was about 10. Then…he had to go to middle school. He is picked on by a boy named Julian that bullies Auggie any minute he can. Even though Julian is tearing Auggie apart bit by bit, he keeps hope up since his sister Via, told him on his first day- “If they stare, let them stare, you can’t fit in when you were born to stand out.”

  42. I recently watched the film ‘Wonder’ for the second time. Usually I don’t like watching movies twice but this movie, I could watch on replay all day!
    The film, ‘Wonder’ is about a young boy named Auggie Pullman. He has a face deformation and doesn’t look like every other child. He has been homeschooled all his life but now his parents think it’s time to start middle school. Auggie is terrified. What if the kids don’t like him? What if they make fun of him? Will I be the school freak? All these questions were going through his head during the film.
    First day of middle school finally comes and it’s going good so far. Auggie is introduced the class and no comments… just yet. To find out if Auggie has a hard time in Middle School you must watch the movie!
    My least favourite character had to be Jack. Yes he’s a nice guy but not very nice to Auggie speaking behind his back like that. I think that was very rude and not what a real friend would do.
    My favourite scene was when Auggie’s sister (Via) tells Auggie, “You can’t fit in when you were born to stand out.” That was a very touching quote to me because it can have a very powerful effect on most people.
    I recommend this movie to absolutely everybody! This is a movie everyone and anyone would like to see.

Auggie Pullman who has a face disorder is now going to go to school for the first time, he is in 5th grade with no friends and not knowing anybody. So many times I felt horrible for Auggie who had to face the real world without his parents by his side, middle school can be tough, especially if you were born to stand out. My favourite character in this movie would definitely by Via, Auggie’s older sister. She has been with Auggie everywhere, they always go trick-or-treating together and even share secrets with one another. Seeing their close bond, I couldn’t help but feel even sadder for Auggie when his own sister couldn’t help him change so he would become a popular kid.
    In Beecher Prep (The school that Auggie goes to now) there is this one kid called Jack Will, and he is the cutest boy I have ever seen. Even though he was cute, he was Auggie’s first friend and their bond became stronger and stronger making it harder for them to leave one another. There is another character sort of like that, and her name is Summer. Summer is probably the nicest girl you will meet, her kindness towards Auggie was just unbelievable.
    But every story has to have a villain, and in Wonder that villain’s name is Julian. Julian is probably one of the meanest boys you will meet that is in 5th grade. He was never nice to Auggie and the way he acts around him is just so rude, I wanted to jump through the screen and tell him off. Julian also managed to get the whole entire grade to turn on Auggie, making him feel more insecure every day.
    This movie definitely has some twits you wouldn’t see coming if you haven’t read the book, but you wouldn’t need to read it to understand, because of the way Stephen Chbosky directed this movie, he did not leave out on little detail.
    I would rate this movie a 10/10 without any thought because this movie is the best of the best!!

    Wonder is a great movie that I really enjoyed! I read the book two or three years years ago and really loved reading it, so I’m really glad to say that the movie does the book justice! Auggie Pullman is a truely inspirational character and his journey throughout the movie is very emotional and at times heartbreaking to watch. I thought the movie had a great storyline and the characters were portrayed really well, and you always felt for them and understood their actions.
    Auggie Pullman has a face deformation and he has never been to public school before. When he starts at Beecher Prep, Auggie meets some kind and life long friends, but also some people who are terribly mean to him. Because Auggie isn’t “normal” looking he gets stared at a lot and bullied by some other kids at school. But once you get to know Auggie you learn much more about him and his very normal life, he likes science, space and Star Wars like any other boy his age. Auggie isn’t defined by his face, he is a kind, caring and smart boy.
    One of my favourite quotes from the movie is “You can’t fit in when you were born to stand out”, I think it sums up the message of this story beautifully. I would highly recommend this movies to anyone who wants to watch it, it’s amazing and you wont ever forget it! But I did cry during the movie so be warned, it can be quite heartbreaking at times. If you haven’t watched this movie you really should, because it teaches everyone that it’s whats on the inside that counts and not how someone looks.

    This movie is a very different movie to watch I normally watch. It took me a little time to realise how lucky I am and the simple/ little things I take for granted. The message from this movie I took away is never judging or second-guessing a person you’ve never met. Yes, Auggie looked different from the other 5th graders but that didn’t mean he wasn’t a warm hearted person looking for friends. Auggie says “if you were born to be different then why fit in”. It took a little time for Auggie to fit into with everyone but once he did everyone was inspired by him and the things he does as a person. I would recommend this movie to people who love a heart touching movie that will get your emotions going. I rate this movie a 9.5/10

  49. I don’t generally cry while watching movies. I cried once when Mufasa died in the Lion Kind when I was younger, but since then I hadn’t cried once. But somehow, this film made me cry on three different occasions. The director and author of the book have put something special into the main character, August’s personality that has melted my heart. The actor, Jacob Tremblay has done an incredible job of showing Auggie’s story. The storyline follows the journey of a small boy, August, 10 years old, who is born with a facial deformity that he calls ‘mandibulofacial dysostosis’ had to undergo 27 surgeries to look somewhat normal. He had been homeschooled until fifth-grade and then the film follows his journey in his first year of grade school in the public system and integrating with other children. The film discusses topics of bullying, acts of kindness and a classic tale of a vulnerable character rising up against personalised challenges. I think that this is a classic family movie that would suit any audience. This movie is entirely child friendly, and offer a great role model for children especially. My favourite part of this film was when August and his best friend Jack stand up to older bullies together. Other kids end up helping them that were originally bullying him, they all ended up being friends and made a beautiful ending.

    What a movie. Inspiring, saddening, funny and above all so beautiful. I absolutely loved this movie it was such a beautiful story and the actors were perfect for the roles they played. The movie follows the journey of a young Auggie, who suffers from facial deformities and is beginning his life in real school, starting at middle school. Life is hard for Auggie, he is faced with the challenges of bullying but with his new friends by his side, he can handle everything thrown his way, well almost. This is a gorgeous family movie that inspires you to always choose kind. I recommend this movie to people aged 8+, I rate this movie a 10/10 🙂

  51. I went I saw this movie with a friend last year and we just loved it, however we did cry many times throughout the movie, simply because it is just beautiful. Wonder is a movie based on the book, and one scene is from Auggie and Me. It is about a boy named August who has a deformed face. He’s been homeschooled his whole life, but now he is going to middle school for the first time. One day, he goes up to the school for a tour. There, he meets 3 kids. Julian, Charlotte, and Jack. All of them are really nice except Julian. On the first day of school, everyone stares at him. His only friend is Jack. Also, his sister, Via, her best friend has changed. I love this movie, but it is a little sad 😦 The emotions just pull you and your ride the story of Auggie. I would rate Wonder 5 stars, it is an inspiration movie that really does touch the heart and pulls on your emotions. Don’t forget to have the tissues with you for this amazing watch!

  52. I went to see this movie last year with school and it was one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. The characters were portrayed really well and they linked in well with the personas they were given in the book. It was a real emotional roller coaster and the whole cinema was cheering, crying and laughing together. The movie is full of some really inspirational quotes that convey the movie’s main theme: being different is a blessing. I really liked how they showed different perspectives from each character so we were able to see how Auggie influenced their lives. This feature was also nice so that we could get a bit of justification regarding each of their actions. My favourite character was Jack Will because even though he did something wrong that hurt Auggie’s feelings, he justified this by standing up for him when he was being bullied by Jullian. Great film that I recommend to all, whether you have read the book or not.

    I have just only recently watched this movie and wow is it sad, during some of the scenes I couldn’t stop crying and I don’t even know why. This movie really makes you connect with the character and learn about himself, his life and his adoring family. my favourite character was Auggie because he is just so strong and resilient by the end of the movie, for someone to be that resilient to bullies and other kids his age would be really hard and disheartening. I believe that Auggie is one of the bravest characters I have ever been able to connect with because his life would have so many more challenges compared to us and unfortunately there aren’t many people supporting hm though his journey. although I loved this movie I preferred the book, but it was great to have a visual of all the characters.

Auggie was born with a deformed face and this movie has shown me how tough life would be for Auggie. I feel sorry for Auggie because everyone was so quick to judge, but just because he has a different face doesn’t mean he’s not like the rest of them. I loved the way Auggie was so strong throughout this and found friends who accepted him for who he is.

The film wonder is about a boy called Auggie who has a facial deformity and doesn’t fit in with the rest of his class mates. I think this film is so heart touching and will definately make you cry.

I would have to say that this film is one of my favourites and I would really recomend seeing it (if you haven’t already).

When he decides that he is ready to go out into the public and go to school, he manages to make some friends who don’t care what he looks like and love him for who he is. These friends help him to overcome all of the judgment and he is very grateful for that. The director of the movie has done a great job to show how everyone in his life is affected by this and also how Auggie has influenced his life. Overall, this is a great heartwarming film that will guarantee make you want to watch it another 10+ times.

    I really enjoyed the movie because it was different to the book and it added in parts that the book didn’t have. The movie was made really well but I still think the book was better. My favourite part is when he won the academic medal because it really showed all his bullies he is just as smart and just as normal. My favourite character in the movie was Auggie because he was funny, smart and even though he got bullied he didn’t change his personality. I can relate to Auggie because his dog died and my dog died as well. My least favourite part of the book was when the dog died and when Jack made fun of Auggie on Halloween because it was really hard on Auggie and it made the audience cry. I wouldn’t change anything about it because I think it was made very well. I would recommend this movie to people who enjoy a good movie that teaches you a lesson. This book teaches you about bullying and why you shouldn’t do it and the effects it has on people. I loved the way that this movie shows everyone around Auggie and how he influenced their lives. His first year of school was hard but he pulled through it. Auggie is really inspiring to me because he was so strong through it all.

Auggie Pullman is a young boy who has a facial deformation. He isn’t ‘normal’ looking and is bullied by the kids at his school and judged by people outside of school.

I love how all of the characters are portrayed and the movie shows how Auggie has influenced other peoples lives. When Auggie was going to school on his first day, his sister Via says to him, “You can’t fit in when you were born to stand out.” I love this quote because it shows how some simple words can make someone more confident and it shows how being different is not something to be ashamed of. I would recommend this movie to almost everyone, young or old. It is an amazing movie and very emotional. I rate this an 8/10.

  66. Wonder is about a kid named Auggie who was born with a deformed face. He has been homeschooled for his whole life, and is now starting year 5. Auggie is going to a real school for the first time, so he is very nervous. Some kids ignore him, some are just plain mean to him, and only a couple of kids are kind to him. The mean ones call him a freak, and play a game called ‘The Plague’. ‘The Plague’ is a game where if you touch Auggie, you have to wash your hands within 10 seconds or else you die. But Jack and Summer are 2 of the few kids who accept Auggie for who he is, and they become his best friends, and only friends! Throughout the book, Auggie faces hard times and easy times. By the end of the year Auggie is treated fairly by everyone (except Julian, the leader of the bullies!), and is even considered ‘cool’.
    I read the book before I saw the movie and I am in love with them both. I’ve read it twice and seen it twice. I am not much of a cryer, but this made me cry!
    I’ve also read the next book, ‘Auggie & Me’, twice. It isn’t a sequel, but it tells the stories of 3 characters from Wonder. The stories are about Julian (the main bully), Christopher (Auggie’s first friend who moved away), and Charlotte (who was asked to be one of Auggie’s welcome buddies at the start of the year). In Wonder, you don’t really know any of these character’s backgrounds. I love learning about how they see the situation, and how there was so much stuff happening that wasn’t even mentioned in Wonder!
    Overall, I love the storyline, and think it is an eye-opener for everyone, no matter how old they are.

I also really like the quote that was mentioned in the movie “You can’t fit in when you were born to stand out.” I think that this is a really great quote because it is very meaningful and is also very true.
