Hi friends! We’re so happy to announce our book selection for March! We wanted to give you plenty of time to get your hands on a copy. So, without further ado, our book selection for March is:
Wonder by RJ Palacio
It’s about a boy with a birth defect that has kept him out of public schools until now, his 5th year of grade school. This is a children’s book for ages 8-12 but is a #1 New York Times Best Seller for being a story of compassion, empathy and acceptance.
I gravitate towards YA books. I’ve realized that I’m a fan of young children who have a set back in life and make the most of it (Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time). Wonder naturally sounded like a book that would be right up my alley!
We’re so happy with the turn out so far with all of you who have joined in reading along with our book selections! Don’t forget, we’ll be discussing The 100 Year Old Man on February 27th. Lisa and I will have separate questions on each of our blogs so you can participate in either or both discussions.
Woo hoo!
I’m sure this is gonna be WONDERful. I hope I can find a copy. My son is going to preschool this year so it’s definitely timely!
My old blog URL was pre-filled on my previous comment. Sorry for the spam 🙂
FUN Rea! I hope you find this one!
I have this book! My almost 13 year-old daughter has read Wonder and loved it! My youngest daughter is reading it now.
My tween started a kindness pledge in her school back in Illinois in honor of Wonder.

That is so awesome, Mrs AOK!
Thanks 🙂

YAY! So cool you’ll be able to read it with us! Your girls can join in the discussion too! I LOVE that your tween started a kindness pledge. What a sweet heart.
She even made the paper 🙂
I’m so incredibly proud of the now teen. :::gah:::
XOXO
