August Pullman is attending school for the very first time.
His parents have homeschooled him up until now, 5th grade, due to
his facial deformity. Just like every new kid, August faces mixed
reactions from students at Beecher Prep. Some are welcoming like Summer, some
aren’t welcoming like Henry and Julian, and some are in between like Jack. Can
August convince the kids at his school that he’s just another ordinary kid, or
are they going to think he has the “plaque” forever? Each character has their own chapters where they share their own views on August.
The actions and events that occur throughout the book are
extremely immature, but what can you expect from 5th graders? You
might read this review and think “it’s about 5th graders, I’m too
old for this”, but the overall lesson is something that even high school kids
need to learn. I think everyone should read this book, the sooner the better.
It will definitely change your view on people that aren’t “normal”.
