Short Review: This was an excellent middle grade book about a boy with a severe facial deformities that goes to school for the first time in 5th grade. This could be just another ‘sick kid helps us see what is important in life' book. But because it is told from a variety of viewpoints, we realize that August has life much better than some other do. it is the mix of viewpoints that really makes the book shine. Look forward to the author writing more books.
