Palacio's Wonder and will be an excellent addition to any library or classroom." --VOYA A funny and inspiring novel about friendship, family, and one undersized boy's ability to think BIG. > "Charlie is a character to root for. He is witty and perceptive and has a secret weapon in his best friend, Sinus Sedgely." --Booklist

"Family drama with a solid mix of action, adventure, and humor." --School Library Journal "In the fast-growing bullying genre, Charlie's story stands out." --Kirkus Reviews "Charlie's amusing sarcasm masks a vulnerability that will resonate with anyone who has felt like an outsider.
