I highly recommend the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio. It is a great story for fourth grade students and above!
This book is about a 5th grade boy, Auggie. He was born with Treacher Collins, a chromosome disorder that results in severe facial deformities. Auggie was home schooled from Kindergarten to 4th grade. When it is time for his 5th grade year, his parents decide to enroll him in a prep school. Auggie feels that he is just an ordinary kid, and he wishes everyone else would see him that way too.
R.J. Palacio debut novel has sparked an anti-bullying campaign called Choose Kind. Click here to go to the Choose Kind website and pledge to Choose Kind every day. This website was created and is maintained by Random House Children's Books. Please visit this site with your child and discuss ways to be kind every day.
