Elogios para La leccion de August (Wonder)
“La generosidad y maestría con la que R.J. Palacio narra la historia de Auggie convierte La lección de August en una obra especial... El resultado no es solo una novela hermosa, divertida y tierna sino también una historia de maduración, superación y aprendizaje”. —The Wall Street Journal
“La lección de August es... una maravilla. Está tan bien escrita y atrapa de tal manera que parece que las páginas pasen solas. Pero, sobre todo, La lección de August nos toca el corazón rearmando la vida de la forma más inesperada gracias a un personaje, August Pullman, al que todos los lectores recordarán siempre”. —Nicholas Sparks, autor de La última canción
Mientras R.J. Palacio se dedicaba a diseñar preciosas cubiertas para cientos de autores, soñaba con escribir algún día una novela. Sin embargo, le parecía que nunca llegaba el momento hasta que se dio cuenta de que lo único que tenía que hacer era empezar a escribir. La lección de August es su primera novela y, después de los elogios unánimes que ha despertado en todo el mundo, seguro que no será la última.
