A side note: I was sold on this novel - as soon as I learned the location was in a small Irish village!!!!

At the end of the book, Auggie’s dad admits that he threw away the astronaut helmet that Auggie used to wear when he was younger, because he hated the way it hid Auggie’s face. THE WONDER has a uniquely imaginative plot that kept me guessing where it was headed, and an ending I truly enjoyed. Lib arrives on the scene ready to expose the girl's deception. She searches every nook and cranny for the tiniest of crumbs and keeps meticulous records of all the girl's vital signs. She is concerned about the integrity of the investigation, because she doesn't fully trust the the second watcher, a nun, to be as scrupulous with her observations. As Lib spends time with the girl, her attitude softens and her concerns become more complicated. Emma Donoghue writes her characters so empathetically that they make my heart ache. I felt every bit of Lib's psychological journey as if it were my own. I desperately clung to the hope that one of the adults in Anna's life would take control of the situation. It was frustrating to watch the obviously capable nurse being disregarded and being forced to make "her voice as soft and womanly as she could" in hopes that the "important men" would listen to her concerns. Even though I could relate to Lib's incredulity, I liked when her preconceived notions were called into question. The skeptical journalist William Byrne makes her confront her homeland's part in intensifying the culture she has been so prejudiced against. She admonishes one character for telling Anna a "lurid" religious tale, but she discovers that she had greatly misinterpreted the situation: “I don’t think you understand our stories, ma’am.” William Byrne es un periodista al que envían allí para cubrir este caso, y Lib, acaba refiriéndole algunas de sus observaciones.

Trained by Florence Nightingale, Nurse Libby is requested to stand 'watch' over a child who has apparently not eaten a thing in 4 months, yet remains alive and vibrant. Between Libby and a nun, they are to take shifts so the child (Abby) is never alone, helping to ensure that this is not a hoax.

My name is August. I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.” Spell Binding and so atmospheric, The Wonder is one of the best Irish historical novels I have read in a very long time where facts and fiction come together to create a story that gets under your skin. Themes are the main ideas that appear repeatedly in a novel. Some of the important themes in Wonder are:

Lib's increased frustration was one I shared - a need to discover the truth. A need to solve this simple but baffling mystery. Between the religious fanaticism of 19th Century Ireland and its infuriating sexism, I got so caught up in everything. And I think so much of it comes down to one thing: atmosphere. Wonder is a contemporary children's novel written by R. J. Palacio, [2] published on 14 February 2012. Wonder was, in part, inspired by an incident where the author's son started to cry after noticing a girl with a severe facial deformity. Inspiration was also pulled from Natalie Merchant's song of the same name. Several spin-offs, including the calendar book 365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Book of Precepts, [3] We're All Wonders, Auggie and Me, and White Bird have been published. [4] A film adaptation was released in 2017, of which a spin-off sequel/prequel film (adapting White Bird) followed in 2022. The Wonder posed some interesting questions, and Donoghue unfurled her plot and ratcheted up the tension, little by little. While I had my suspicions about how the story would tie itself up, it is tremendously compelling from start to finish, although it certainly was a little disturbing as well, because I don't understand the type of religious devotion which imbued the characters. The details are where Donoghue shines in this historical, fictional tale that immerses you in the setting, the people and the time. The dirt roads, the countryside, every detail about life on the O’Donnell farm, and yes, even the fairies. Wonder is narrated by six different characters. Each voice brings its own perspective and lets us see things from a different point

Via confides to her mother that she does not want Auggie to attend her school play, as she has enjoyed the fresh start her new school has given her, free of the burden of being associated with Auggie and his condition. Auggie overhears and angrily sulks in his room, but instead of his mother coming to comfort him as he had hoped, Via comes in instead to tell him their dog Daisy is dying. She urges him to come out and say goodbye before she is taken to the vet and euthanized, which he does. This section does not cite any sources.
