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.

Wonder is a book about a boy named August ("Auggie") and he had a facial abnormality when he was born, he still has it. Auggies mom did not even get to see him when he was born, they rushed him out of the room quickly. Now Auggie is all grown up and he is ten years old. Now he starts going to a real school. Will he make friends? Will he like school? Will he drop out? You'll have to read to find out. In my opinion, I think it was a good idea for Auggie to go to a real school. He needs to try to make friends and learn harder math, science, social studies, and reading. My favorite part of Wonder is when Auggie makes friends with Jack Will and Summer. I can connect to the text because I was nervous on the first day of school, I did not know if I was going to make friends. I would recommend this book to fourth through eighth graders. I will continue to read books related to Wonder. by Alyssa
