Five for Friday - Recommendation, Wonder, and Fiona

Happy Friday, friends!

I'm once again participating in five blog hops today. You can click on the host links below to read the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through their links!

Question: Which book would you recommend for our host's birthday?

My response: I recommend a book I'm currently listening to, Wonder, by R. J. Palacio. The audio is excellent. I think everyone should read or listen to it at least once. More on the book below.

Today's excerpts are from the hardcover format of Wonder, by R. J. Palacio.

Here are is the first sentence:
I know I'm not an ordinary ten-year-old kid.
And here's an excerpt from page 56, which happens to be the end of a chapter and doesn't have a lot of words!
I didn't wait to see Mom's reaction. I just started running down the sidewalk after the rock, which I had kicked as hard as I could in front of me.

If you haven't read or listened to this book, I highly recommend it for adults and children. And this is the perfect time of year to start it, at the beginning of the school year. It's about a boy who has a facial difference and it's told from a variety of perspectives.

    A cat, said James Herriot, is a connoisseur of comfort, so of course a cat needs her comforter.
