This post reviews R. J. Palacio’s children’s book Wonder
I’ve reviewed a lot of children’s books with homeschooling themes on this blog over the years. This one may be my favorite. August Pullman is a boy born with serious, serious face abnormalities, so much so that his parents homeschool him until the fifth grade to protect him somewhat from the constant shocked looks and whispered conversations that follow him wherever he goes. But for the fifth grade they decide it’s time he starts learning how to live in the real world a bit, so they send him to school.
A second, fully revised edition of my 2008 book Homeschool: An American History, was published in March of 2017.
