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 love the book Wonder, There was this boy called August he had facial disability he had lots of surgery's, he was home schooled to 5th grade, then he went to Beecher Prep. There were some people that weren't very nice with August. August has a sister called Via but her real name is Olivia.
It's such a good book we had a real live auggie but he had a younger brother and if you want to watch the movie the day of the movie is November 17 2017 And also you can watch the trailer it so good it has Julia Roberts and other amazing actors too can't wait to watch and I hope you like it!
Augie is a super sweet boy. He doesn't let anyone's thoughts get to him. This book is highly highly highly recommended to any Realistic fiction book lover. Make sure to check out the movie on Dogo movies!
This story is very heartbreaking. It is very powerful and expresses the point. It also teaches a lesson that what you are on the outside is not neccesarily what you are on the inside. I really liked this book and I would advise it.
I loved this book. Wonder is the story of a boy named Auggie Pullman and he was born with a different face. His face is deformed and even though he has had many surgeries to fix it, he's left looking..."ugly". Auggie is now going to public school, and he's nervous. Auggie is a very brave kid and even though people are making fun, he's still pushes through. This is a sad story of a wonderous child.
And it is a private school
BEST book ever
This book is about August Pullman's troubles during school and how his friends and family support him even through his hardships in life. This book is for people who enjoy a good realistic fiction novel.
Once you read this book you will want to be Augusts best friend although how he looks is interesting he is one of the most thoughtful people he struggles to get freinds.
This is one of my favorite books. It shows that even if you have a different face or a disorder dosent mean you can't do things. Auggie Pullman Has a deformed face he gets bullied but makes a few friends. I loved this story cause no matter what u are you can do things others do and that was the greatest message to me in this book.
