This incredible, moving story is about August Pullman, a fifth-grader with a facial deformity. He has never gone to a normal school, until now. He has to learn how to make friends and navigate the challenges of being the new kid in school, all while trying to cope with his extraordinary exterior. This novel is uplifting, emotional, and beautifully written. I think it would be an excellent read aloud and could really help kids see how their actions affect others. I truly hope to use this in my classroom someday.
