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.

Best book ever. end of discussion.
This book is so good!!! I thought I was not going to like it at first but once I got into it I loved it. It is about a boy named August who has some sort of bad stuff that makes him look different. Everyone always stares and make faces which he's used to. If you like friendship, kindness, loyalty and more read Wonder!
Auggie Pullman is a special boy. He has been homeschooled all of his life to avoid being teased for his facial abnormality. Now, Auggie is going to a real school, Beecher Prep for the first time and he starts making friends. I Recommend this book it is really heartwarming.

wonder is sooooo good
I like everyone else loved this book. It's about a ten year old boy named Auggie who was born with a rare facial deformity. He’s been homeschooled his whole life while going through many surgeries to correct this. In fifth grade his family decides he needs to attend a real school, Beecher Prep. It's hard enough being the new kid, but with his face it's even harder. He has a rough time, but in the end overcomes everything. It's a great story, but also unique in how it's written. You'll see what I mean.
Wow that was amazing just wow. I absolutely LOVED this book it is now on my read again list. It is just such a wonderful book!
this is amazing book and sad for me
