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 saw the movie It was awlsom
Wonder follows the life of August Pullman, a deformed child. He is picked on because of this. However, over time, he gets more friends. I would highly recommend this to people of all ages. This is one of the best books I have ever read.
The movie made some my friends cry after seeing what Auggie had to go through. Many people thought he was just a weird looking guy, but he was actually a fun person to play with. Auggie faces many hard challenges in fifth grade and he tries his best to make through with all the bullies and people ignoring him. I definitely recommend this movie to all fans of Wonder!
so awsom!!!!
Wonder is super heart warming, sad, and emotional story about this little boy named August he had over 28 surgeries. I recommend you guys to read it.
this is a geart book and i recamenda it to other people. it is just like the movie but the book is always better.
I also want to say my teacher read it last year, and most of us got the book, and friends who weren't in our class saw it and got it too, It was a great read.
I watched the movie wonder and it was really good so I knew that the book would be good too... It is even better. I definitely recommend this book for people who like touching, sad stories. I found that the book so far doesn't have a dull moment . Alyssa
