What comes to mind when you hear about-or experience-‘
good siblings’? Loyal? Kind? Generous? Do you feel like you can tell them anything? In Wonder, August’s older sister, Via, has all of these traits. She is an awesome sister!

First of all, Via is understanding. She is understanding because on page 32 it says,”Mom and Dad always thought I was the most understanding little girl in the world.” I also think she is understanding because she didn’t care that her parents focused on August,
because he had been through many surgeries and needed help staying alive. 

Second, Via is curious. She is curious because according to the text, she wanted to know what happened to August on the first day of school. She wanted to know because he had never been to school before. She also wanted to know what happened to August on Halloween, and why he didn’t go to school. 

Lastly, I think Via is polite. Via showed she was polite because at the beginning of the book she wasn’t friends with Miranda and Ella, but she didn’t yell or fight with them. Based on what I read, Via was polite with her parents,too, and didn’t get mad at them, either.

So now what comes to mind when you hear ‘good sibling’? Via is what comes to my mind. She is understanding, curious, and polite. That’s why I think she is so cool!
