Comments on: #bookreview for Wonder by R J Palacio – a book for 9 โ€“ 11 year olds, apparently. Iโ€™m slightly over that but loved it anyway :-) #TuesdayBookBlog https://www.georgiarosebooks.com/bookreview-wonder-r-j-palacio-book-9-11-year-olds-apparently-im-slightly-loved-anyway/ Thu, 19 Apr 2018 18:12:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.5 By: Georgia Rose https://www.georgiarosebooks.com/bookreview-wonder-r-j-palacio-book-9-11-year-olds-apparently-im-slightly-loved-anyway/#comment-5986 Thu, 19 Apr 2018 18:12:24 +0000 https://www.georgiarosebooks.com/?p=2492#comment-5986 In reply to Sarah Brentyn.

I was amazed actually when I went onto Amazon to leave the review just how many different versions there were of the original book. At one point I found I was leaving the review on the Italian translation! I guess when something is as successful as that the publishers put out as many variations as possible to keep the interest, and the money flowing in. ๐Ÿ˜€

Some copies of Wonder actually have a ‘bonus’ chapter at the end (The Julian Chapter). I think it was originally released as an ebook-only story. ??? Not sure. But, yes, there is at least one other companion. ๐Ÿ™‚

That is really good to hear. I don’t have school aged children now so I did wonder. Like I said I thought it should be compulsory. So pleased you liked it too, thanks for commenting.

It’s often on school reading lists, which is wonderful. She’s a really fabulous writer.

Thanks, Sarah. I thought many of the other POV chapters were really well done. I haven’t read the companion book, in fact I didn’t even know there was one but I shall look out for it now ๐Ÿ˜€

I loved this book. The Julian Chapter (at the end) really slayed me, too. Have you read the companion book? Auggie & Me, I think it’s called. There may be more, now.
