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 could read this over and over again
Are you ready to meet Auggie Pullman? Auggie Pullman was born with a facial difference that prevented him from going to a mainstream school — until now. He’ s about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you’ve ever been the new kid, you know how hard that can be. The thing is that Auggie is an ordinary kid with an extraordinary face. But can Auggie convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, despite his appearances? an amazing read! I would recommend this to readers of all age, everyone will understand this touching and great story, by R. J. Palacio.
I loved this book and I watched the movie twice and I had the most enjoyable time we shouldn't judge people by the way they look but bye their personality
If I had to choose just one book to call my favorite, Wonder would be it. I've read it so many times and I never get tired of it. I just love how the readers can see through the eyes of many characters and not just one. Each one is unique in their own way, and although you may not like all of them, you will definitely be able to relate to one. This book was full of a lot of heartwarming, funny, and relatable moments. The film was also great and I cried so many times. Overall, I really recommend reading Wonder, I can't even stress how much I love it.
I feel very bad for the main character, im sure most of you guys have already read this book, but I just gotta say its super emotional but the book in general is very nice.
I think that this book is so good. Auggie is such a wonderful and unique person. This book makes me think about others, and how they struggle, and that some people are different, and that's okay.
I love this book and film
I liked this book but there were parts where it was sad. I give it a 3.5/5
