This week I have been reading Auggie & Me, which I wouldn’t say is a sequel, but more of a behind the scenes kinda book. I love how R.J. Palacio decided to try and give Julian some love as there is a thing now that is called “Keep calm and don’t be a Julian” So she decided to clear things up with Julian so he isn’t as hated as he already is. The 2 other stories included are about Auggie’s best friend Chris, and Auggie’s welcome buddy Charlotte. They have their own stories that include some of August, but more of themselves. Chris’ story had a lot more time with August but Charlotte’s story is more about her friendships. I would love to see another one of these books with perspectives of Ximena Chin, Savanna, Ellie, Amos, Maya, Henry and Miles and all the other characters that I pay more attention now that I know 3 more perspectives. It’s fun to imagine what the other characters might be thinking when another sees things from a different way. My favorite part is when Julian’s grandmother tells Julian a story about herself, and now I see Julian in a completely different way.
