Overcoming Challenges

As Auggie goes to school.
As Auggie put his Astronaut helmet off.
As Julian had to move school cause of his parents.
Monthly preceptsJust follow the day and reach for the sun!
I think it’s a very good precept because it tells you about the live.
You can’t change anything that happened in the past so just follow the day but if you reach something great reach for it.
Beauty is given but friends you must get.

Dear, Jack
How are you? I hope you and Auggie like the way the school went! I would wish I could see you and talk to you and Auggie!
I think it’s nice of you that you accept Auggie as a person and not only look at the outside. The most important thing in a friendship is the inside.
To be a friend of Auggie cause the teacher and your mum told you is one thing but being his friend because you like him is the other. I liked how you defended him as he got bullied and I hope you defend him even now if he is not able to do it himself. But I don't think it is right to write off.
I hope you like your new friend and have even now fun playing with him. I would wish he got scientist because of his great science knowledge. I also hope he is happy and managed to integrate well into the society.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Bye,
Jonas

Wunder FeedbackI really liked the book because of the way it brings closer important themes like bullying or friendship. I do not think younger persons which are not good in English should read the book because of many new words which are important to understand the meaning.
I really recommend the book because of the things I mentioned before.
I would give the book three out of five stars because it was not that interesting to read and there were many new words which I translated in the internet.
I also think the worksheets were funny and took a great amount of time.
