In Wonder: the Julian Chapter, Palacio has written Julian's side of the story and it is brilliant. It is realistic and reminds us all that there are no totally good people or totally bad people, just people, each with a story.
This isn't a sappy deal, where we find out that Julian is just a victim himself and all Law and Order SVU-y, he takes out his self-hatred on others. I know, sadly, that does happen, but Palacio didn't go for the common explanations, for the black and white. This is an important book to read because there are a lot of Julian in each and every one of us, you know?
