    Before I can say anything, I need to address the AMAZING illustrations in this book. 10 out 10 for sure. The pictures were all very appealing, colorful, playful, adding to the beautiful quality of this book. I loved the story of this graphic novel. I've definitely read my share of graphic novels, and Smile was not a disappointment. Rain Telgemeier succeeds in making this book relatable and very realistic. One thing I hate about books is when all the characters and events that occur seem too far-stretched and very unlikely, but Smile was the complete opposite. Any teenager can relate. Just another thing I want to applause the author on is her ability to describe the pain of braces ever so accurately (first-hand experience and they're terrible -___-).

    candyexpress's book review was featured in Wonder.
    Books can do amazing things to people. They can change our mindsets, our thoughts, opinions, the list goes on, but Wonder isn't limited to the cliche themes of friendship and perseverance. All of those topics are amazing, but Wonder is different. Wonder addresses topics that some choose to ignore and may not even think about discussing. The book tells the the readers a story about a boy named August (or Auggie) born with facial deformity. Because of this, he is faced with many challenges hindering him and his motivation to blend into his new public school. As the book develops, us, readers, join Auggie on the journey of adjusting to his school and making new friends all the while, still trying to ignore the stares he receives, insults thrown at him, and the pain he experiences. This book was something that touched the deepest part of my heart. Honestly, finding a good book isn't that easy, even harder to find an extraordinary read, and even more rare, almost impossible, to come across something as tear-jerking and emotional as Wonder was. When you read the last page and find yourself closing the cover, you will let out a gasp from how hard the words on those very pages twisted your emotions, and just how full your heart is, now pumping with a new renewal of empathy, compassion, and motivation to be a better person.

    Poor monkey I think all of us should feel bad. What if we had to go through what he has. Especially because it was kind of humans fault because humans started feeding the wild life instead of leaving them alone.
