August
Pullman is starting public school for the first time, as a fifth grader. He is up against some issues, as he was born
with face deformities. He struggles with
trying to fit in and how other people respond to him.
Thinking about August and the challenges he faces in this text, I feel somewhat sad for him. It is very empowering how he tries to move forward with all the issues he faces as he begins public school for the first time. The way the book is set up really lends itself well to the reader being able to feel the emotions of the characters, August and others included. This book is a great resource for 5th graders to middle school aged students. It covers a realm of challenges that the age group faces and then some.
