If you loved 'Wonder', you should definitely read 'The Julian Chapter'. Basically, it clears up why Julian was such an asshole to Auggie while at Beecher Prep (although in my mind, Julian was still an asshole). It made Julian seem more like a human and less like a bully. And if you're wondering why he was kind of an asshole (although there was a reasoning to it), you just have to look to his parents.Loved when Julian visited his Grandmere and found out more about her childhood. Definitely my favorite part.Short and sweet. Great writing once again from Palacios.
Boy, did I hate Julian going into this novella. I'm sure everyone who read Wonder felt the same way. I also knew there might be a good reason for Julian acting they way he did. And his mom, what a bitch!! Fear can make people do horrible things. Which is no excuse, of course. I understand why Palacio kept this chapter separate from the book. She wanted you to feel the way you feel about Julian so that you can go into this chapter with this hatred. Smart move. I loved Julian's grandmother!!
Grandmere makes this story.
