I cannot remember the last time I read an entire book in a day. Today for the first time, I read Wonder. I knew the story’s premise, had always intended to read it, but hadn’t gotten around to it until this morning.
Then I saw today’s writing challenge word: brave. What a coincidence! Bravery is a major theme in this story of a fifth grade boy who has extreme challenges that he faces physically and emotionally. He steps out of his comfort zone, goes against what those around him says is “ok”, and shows kindness to those who are unkind to him.
