Finding a book that everyone will like is a challenge, but we picked a winner this month with Wonder by R.J. Palacio.

The book led to interesting discussions on bullying and genetics, among other things.

But Auggie's no ordinary kid, and it's a toss-up as to who will be the more changed by the end of 5th grade: him, or those at his school.
