Over 6 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller WONDER and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.
The book that inspired the Choose Kind movement.
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

I loved it.
I'm in love with wonder I am in 5
This book is ok, but somewhere in the middle I thought it was innapropreate. And the texting chapters were like deciphering playfir cipher.
Wonder. Even the word fills me with feelings like, happiness and hope. Wonder by R.J. Palacio will fill with all those feelings but times 10. Wonder was a fantastic book which I keep reading over and over again. While some people would call it sad and unrealistic, I call it a sad reminder of how cruel the world can be, but there will always be friends around to help you (in the book Jack, and Summer). This masterpiece by Palacio was very moving in such a way that it will make you cry! It was easy to read and understand. The message I got from this story was never give up, enjoy life, and be KIND because life can surprise you sometimes ! I recommend this for ages 9+ and give it 5 stars for it was the most touching and heartwarming story ever. Happy readings! Your fellow bean_boy12
