"The breakout publishing sensation of 2012 will come courtesy of Palacio, a New York graphic designer whose debut novel, Wonder, is destined to go the way of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and then some.. no Tube carriage will be without a copy this year" The Times "What a gem of a story. Moving and heart-warming. This book made me laugh, made me angry, made me cry" -- Malorie Blackman "Incredibly charming, brutal and brilliant" -- Laura Dockrill Observer "It wreaks emotional havoc ... There is a message running through the book ... To finish it with a firm resolve to be a better person - well, you can't ask much more of any book than that" -- Suzy Feay Independent "This is a wonderful book and I couldn't recommend it more highly ... What fantastic stuff" Katy Moran
