For fans of Wonder!

Review by Ally

If you like the books Wonder and One for the Murphys, then this is the kind of book for you. It's about a boy named Will who faces a lot of challenges in his life. Then he comes down to a decision: betray his friend who may not have so long left or step out of his comfort zone to make his friend’s dreams come true. What will he choose?

For fans of ‘Wonder’… READ THIS!

Review by pinkeagle

So good and relatable. Even tho this book had a slightly sad ending it is still one of my fav picks for a heartwarming story. It can be a bit hard to read though but still SO SWEET.

Great read

Review by Estifer

This book almost made me cry at the end, but I still loved it. It was an amazing book and I really enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend it but not if you don't like sad endings.
