Feature And Follow Friday (18).


Q: Have you ever looked at book’s cover and thought, This is going to horrible? But, was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover and tell us about the book.


I wasn't a big fan at all of this cover but the saying is true never ever judge a book by it's cover, I have never cried so much in a book, it's about a boy who's face is terribly disfigured and his parents have decided that he'll attend grade 5 at an actual school rather than continue being home schooled, and how other kids react to a person with a deformity.
I gave this 5 stars and cannot say enough good things about it.

    Interesting. I have not heard of this book, and you're right...I wouldn't expect much from it based on the cover alone.

    Check out my Follow Friday.

    I'm the same way about this cover!!! I have it, haven't read it yet. Mainly because of the cover.

    Thanks for stopping by LIO!

    I have seen this book popping up a lot lately, it looks really good. Every time I see the cover, I think about The Fault in Our Stars, I guess the colors of both covers are identical and that's why! Thanks for hopping by earlier. New follower:)

    This book has left and impression on me that will never be released. I actually thought the cover was pretty good, given the premise. I'm recommending the book to EVERYONE I know...

    I haven't heard of this book before but I'm glad it's so much better than it seems.

    Have a good weekend!

    I have seen Wonder popping up all over the place. The premise isn't my usual read, but the reviews may sway me. I love the minimalist graphical style of the cover, no clue what it has to do with the story yet, though!

    Thanks for stopping by! And following back via GFC.Otherwhere.co

    I agree, that cover probably would've made me keep walking.

    Hey, thanks for the follow - have followed back!

    I actually kind of like the cover, but somehow I doubt I'd have picked it up, if that makes any sense. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Hi Sarah :) Thanks for stopping by and deciding to follow!
    you have a new follower in me too!

    That sounds like the kind of book that would make me cry as well! Perhaps I should look in to reading it myself. I'll just have to be prepared first.
    I hope you enjoy your weekend!

    Sounds like a heart wrenching read but you would never guess from the cover.
