2020 review: With my TBR almost eradicated by all my Lockdown reading I picked this wonder-ful book off of my shelves for a reread, and even on second reading this book is still an absolute delight! A book that does not paint grey-issues where they are not grey; a book that asks us all to recognise that we have control over how other people feel; that ultimately our teaching professions want the best for their students, and that every day and every hour they pursue that cause; that unity really is strength. So glad that the writer and the publishers weren't afraid to get this story out there. 11 out of 12!
2017 review: Auggie is a normal 10 year old with a hideous genetic facial condition. This is the story of his first year in school in the Fifth Grade, told from numerous first people's viewpoints. And this book? It is a wonder, a superbly crafted piece of fiction, ultimately promoting human kindness. This book totally moved me and had my crying at the spirit of human kindness throughout. 11 out of 12.
It's because of books like this I have a book rating system that goes up to 12, so that books that are better than 10/10 have somewhere to go. I have only ever given one book 12/12 - To Kill a Mockingbird.

This is the one book that I can't tire of recommending. I am THRILLED to see your 11 stars for it, Baba. :)
Excellent review Baba! Happy this almost hit the 12. A wonder-ful book indeed <3. I'll have to check Mockingbird soon, been in tbr for ages lol.
Fabulous review. This may be one of your highest ratings? Definitely worth the accolades. Absolutely love this one. 🥰📚
