My goal was to read all the Wonder books before going and seeing the movie!The Julian Chapter:I read Wonder about two years ago, so when I found out that there were short stories that went with the book I had to read them. I was very impressed by the Julian chapter. I didn't think it would be as good as it was. I loved the story his grandmother shared and how it connected to him so well.Pluto:This "short book" is about Christopher, who was Auggie's best friend from the time they were babies3.75I really enjoyed this book but I don't think it is necessary to read if you have read wonder. I really loved charlottes story and I liked Julian's but I didn't really enjoy Christopher's.
It wasn't a great as Wonder but it's pretty close. I loved reading these stories. Even though Auggie doesn't appear often (or at all) it's great to get to know some of the Wonder characters more. It shows that everybody lives completely different lives.
I can see why these stories weren't included in Wonder, but I'm SO glad I read them. It took me a while to get into each story, but the author has an amazing talent of making you fall in love with every character she writes. I was so invested in all of them, it's hard to pick a favourite, but if I had to choose I would probably say Charlotte's, because I think ten year-old Bee could've learned a lot from the lessons in her story.
Book #1.5 'The Julian Chapter' - 4.5 starsSometimes its good to start over.- Julian---------Book #1.6 'Pluto' - 4 stars Being friends with Auggie could be hard sometimes.I didnt know how to tell him that being friends with him could be hard for me sometimes, too.- Christopher---------Book #1.7 'Shingaling' - 4 stars Every persons story weaves in and out of someone elses story.- Charlotte
This was so cute!Auggie and Me had such sweet little novellas! After reading all about Auggie, and then watching him, I was really excited by the novellas for this series. I'm not going to lie, I was hesitant to read about other people but since they were short books I was going to dive into them no matter what.First off, I loved Julian's part! It was perfectly cute and such a fun one to read. Plus his grandmother was beyond adorable and I wanted more of that and them. Then there's Christopher,
I think I enjoyed AUGGIE & ME more than I did the original WONDER. In this companion book R.J. Palacio explores three minor characters from WONDER, Christopher, Auggies childhood friend, Julian the bully and Charlotte, the nice-enough girl who didnt like the teasing, but never stepped up.Nothing about Julian is likable or sympathetic and after meeting his parents, readers know why. He doesnt feel badly for bullying Auggie and sees himself as a victim, until his grandmother shares a story
