#22 Wonder by R.J. Palacio

Yes, I re-read Wonder.  I re-read it mostly because I am supposed to lead a book discussion at my daughter's school next week and I felt as though I needed to re-read it to refresh my old memory.  But, as I was reading the ending of this amazing story for the second time, crying on the plane to Bermuda, making my entire family shake their heads ("There goes mom again, crying over another book), I realized that if ever there was a book to be read twice, maybe to even be read once a year, Wonder is that book.

I am more touched by the second reading than the first.  But for all of the same reasons as the first time.  I want to buy Wonder for everyone I know.  It is a book we all should read.  Even the adults.  Perhaps especially the adults.

Happy reading everyone!
