Wonder

1) What was August's one wish that he wanted I wish I had I normal face and none noticed it at all 

2)what do you think it means to be ordinary I think ordinary means being the same as others or being just yourself 

3) How do people react to Auggie when they first see him what would you do if you meet him  people stayed away from him and they didn't want to talk or see him  I would let him join in with me 
es
4) August's dad says don't take him to middle school like a lamb to the slaughter what does that mean
He might think he might get bullied or picked on by the other kids at the school 

5) Would you let Auggie go to school if you were his mum and dad
I would not let him go to school because of how he was born and he would feel sad that he is not the same 

6) what was the white lie that August's mum said
she lied about the IQ test so that he could get in the school she did it so he can get in the school but white lies are not really good are 

7)  Auggie liked Mrs Garcia when she did  a shiny smile
it is a fake smile 

8) how does Auggie know the first time he meets Julian how does he know he will be a bully
because of the way he talks to him
