Palacio's Wonder and will be an excellent addition to any library or classroom."" -- VOYA A funny and inspiring novel about friendship, family, and one undersized boy's ability to think BIG.

His only ally is Sinus Sedgely, a kid with a lower-level reputation than Charlie himself. Life at home isn't much better. His dad is more skilled with a wok than he is with words, and his mom is suffocating the life out of Charlie, worried about his every move. But when a new passion leads Charlie to the mother of all confrontations, he finds his real mom has been hiding a massive secret. A secret that, while shocking, might actually lead Charlie to feeling ten feet tall. ""Charlie is a character to root for. He is witty and perceptive and has a secret weapon in his best friend, Sinus Sedgely."" -- Booklist ""Family drama with a solid mix of action, adventure, and humor."" -- School Library Journal ""In the fast-growing bullying genre, Charlie's story stands out."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Charlie's amusing sarcasm masks a vulnerability that will resonate with anyone who has felt like an outsider. The humiliation of being the butt of a joke is sensitively rendered, as is Charlie's slow reclamation of his pride in this witty, true-to-life story."" -- Publishers Weekly
