If you have ever read Wonder, you should also read this incredible true book by Robert Hoge. He tells his life story of growing up as a child with severe facial deformities. In fact, when he was born, his mother refused to even see him. His family almost abandoned him, but thankfully, in the end, his siblings said he belonged with them. His story is full of heartaches and triumphs, and it is a powerful reminder that there is so much to a person beyond what they look like on the outside. It is a book that everyone should read!
This is one of my all-time favorite books. I was introduced to it when I was in 5th grade and my teacher read it to the class. I remember being totally mesmerized by this incredible story. Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors and I've read nearly all of his books. This book is about a young boy who learns about "real witches" from listening to his grandmother, and his own first-hand encounters with witches. It is full of adventure, humor, and delightful word choice that makes it a hard book to put down!
