Critics Review

Remarkable … It has the power to move hearts and change minds

“Incredibly charming, brutal and brilliant” Observer “What a gem of a story. Moving and heart-warming. This book made me laugh, made me angry, made me cry” – Malorie Blackman “The breakout publishing sensation of 2012 will come courtesy of Palacio, a New York graphic designer whose debut novel, Wonder, is destined to go the way of Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and then some … It is dark, funny, touching and no Tube carriage will be without a copy this year” The Times “It wreaks emotional havoc … To finish it with a firm resolve to be a better person - well, you can’t ask much more of any book than that” Independent “When the kids have finished with this, the adults will want to read it. Everybody should” Financial Times
