Have you experienced a sister thats absolutely perfect for you? Thats what Via is to August in Wonder. I don’t think there could possibly be a better sister in the world for him! She’s comforting, defensive, and available for him.

 

First of all, Via rebuilds Auggie’s strength. On page 112, Halloween, she found out why he was so upset, and she knew the best way to snap him out of it was to convince him to go to the Halloween Parade. After agreeing to give him all her candy, he finally agreed and they went.

 

Secondly, Via is very defensive. Whenever people are being mean to Auggie she gets mad at them. One time, these teenagers made weird noises when they saw him, and Via yelled her head of at them! Also, Auggie himself stated that she was really defensive. And that’s her brother talking!

 

Finally, Via is always available for Auggie. When their favorite/only dog, Daisy died, Auggie and Via were both really sad. But when they got a new dog, Bear, they both skipped school and played with him all day!

 

In conclusion, Via is the perfect sister for August. She is comforting, defensive, and always available for him. Auggie would definitely agree to that!
