Wonder is the story about a ten-year-old boy named Auggie. He has deformities(畸形) of his face and looks very different from other children. In the street, people look at Auggie and his appearance shocks them.

Auggie has never been to school because he has spent a lot of time in hospital. When he is ten, his mother thinks he should go to school. At first, Auggie doesn’t want to go. He worries that other students will look at him and say horrible things. But when he visits a school with his mum, he likes the head teacher and decides to go. Auggie makes some good friends but other children are horrible to him. At the end of year, Auggie goes on a school trip and a frightening event there changes things completely.

Wonder is an excellent book. Once I started reading it, I didn’t want to stop. It is easy to like Auggie. He has a good sense of humor. But the book isn’t just about Auggie. We learn what life is like for his sister, and his friend Jack. Wonder is a book about a ten-year-old boy, but it’s popular with people of all ages.

We spoke to three students from around the world about different national holidays. There are different customs (习俗) for each festival.

Tan Xiaodong, 15, Hong Kong, China

“It'll soon be Chinese New Year. Before it, we'll clean the house and decorate it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we'll go out a lot to celebrate in the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival.”

Wendy, 16, Sydney, Australia

“Australia Day is on 26th January and it's an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties and there's lots of music and dancing. What fun!”

Amy, 14, New York, USA

“The first Thanksgiving Day was hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It's still a very important day for families to be together. This year we're going to visit my grandparents and we'll eat a delicious meal of turkey. Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November every year.”
