They did recommend this book a couple of time to me and I was finally able to read it. It was a good recommendation, I totally I loved it. 
 Wonder is a beautiful, emotional, funny story about a boy that find his place in the world 
 We are introduced in this story with August, who loves star wars, playing at the playstation, reading fantasy books, sound like a normal kid. But what makes August different or extraordinary, is his face. He was born with a genetic anomaly, that caused a deformations of his facial characters. Even after a lot of surgical operations, he still doesn't look "normal". August knows that, he knows how people avoid looking at him and stare when they think they are notice, he knows they call him monster, he knows that people will always judge him first for his appearance; what it doesn't expect is to now people who will see beyond it. 
 When August as to face his first year of middle school, leaving the protection of his parents and home, he will be pushed out of his comfort zone, having to face the stares, whispers and ostracism that comes with been the new kid - only ten time worse. 
 The story is well written, having a simple style and good peace, changing the different point of view. It tends to be a bit too simple-minded pushing to an happy ending that in the reality of things could have been just slightly done. The kids in the book feel at times unrealistic, their behavior is to mature for their age. But given the light and funny mood that the writer wants, it's quite understandable. It reads on his own, it would do for a great middle-school read. 
 For me it was the first time reading about the Treacher-Collins Syndrome, I was happy to find an entertaining book that could also push me to be more curious about a subject that we don't commonly discuss. 
 I would highly recommend it to any middle and high school kid, but also adult, we are able to be worse than kids sometimes, we should stop be afraid of what's different and start trying to better understand it. 
 They are also going to do a movie adaptation of the book, to be released around april 2017 in the U.S.A
