This is the story of August Pullman, a ten-year-old boy who only wants to be like everybody else. He feels like a normal boy, except that he doesn't look like a normal boy. August was born with a rare and terrible facial deformity, so he's used to being stared at everywhere he goes. His parents have protected and sheltered her his whole life, but now August is going to a real school for the first time. He's excited to meet kids his own age, but can his classmates actually see him for who he really is?
I am so mad that it took me so long to read this book! It is fantastic! This is a middle grade novel but I feel like it's something everyone needs to read, it's a book for all ages. It is such a beautiful story about acceptance and loving those who are different from us. It is written in several different point of views, and I loved seeing all the different views. It is a very impact story, but it is also very humorous and fun. I highly recommend it!
