Wonder

What a gem of a story. Moving and heart-warming. This book made me laugh, made me angry, made me cry

Malorie Blackman

The breakout sensation of 2012... Wonder is destined to go the way of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time... dark, funny, touching. No Tube carriage will be without a copy this year

The Times

If you read one book this year, make it this one... a funny, emotional, brilliantly observed story... We loved it

Bella

I'd defy anyone not to well up when he cries: "Why do I have to be so ugly, Mommy?", and as for the climax, it wreaks emotional havoc. There is a message running through the book, most clearly voiced by an inspirational teacher, that if we were all a little kinder to one another the benefit would be incalculable. To finish it with a firm resolve to be a better person - well, you can't ask much more of any book than that

Independent

Gripping - I'd really recommend it to anybody. It's a young adult book book about a little boy who's born with a disfigured face, written from his point of view... charming, brutal and brilliant

Observer

Tremendously uplifting and a novel of all-too-rare power

Sunday Express

Emotionally rewarding... funny, touching, honest

Daily Mail

For anyone who has ever worried about their child's vulnerabilities, Wonder will strike at your heart

Daily Telegraph

In its assured simplicity and boldness (reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird), it also has the power to move hearts and change minds

Guardian

When the kids have finished with this, the adults will want to read it
