Palacio as \"wondrous\"--this moving memoir follows a teenage boy with TC syndrome and his exceptional family from diagnosis at birth to now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This touching memoir is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the real-world experiences of a child with craniofacial differences and his extraordinary family. It's also more than that. It's a story about the love between a mother and a son, a child and his family, and the breadth of friends, helpers, and doctors that step in when the unexpected happens. It's a story that will make young readers reevaluate the word 'normal'--not only as it applies to others, but to themselves. Any book that can do that is pretty wondrous, as far as I'm concerned.\" --R.J.
