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 havent read the book but the movie is sad=(
Amazing story it made me cry
It's wonderful, and I would highly reccomend
I LOVE THIS BOOK I CAN'T STOP READING IT
I read this in sixth grade, finished all the books relating to this in the summer between sixth and seventh grade. This book was wonderful! Very true to problems kids face in society. I saw nuts and pieces of the movie in eighth grade during one of our few team days. I want to see the movie soon completely to view the way the characters are portrayed. Love this book, even now halfway through ninth grade! This quiz was a great refresher for the book!
I loved this book and I loved the quiz even more!
This book is inspiratal and reflects on how simple acts of kindness, like sitting with a friend, or being nice to someone can make a huge impact, This book is absolutely amazing and I recommend it to anyone, big or small
I wanted to read this book because it was popular. Everyone had read it and I felt left out. So I went and bought the hole collection at the book shop and then I read it. So good. Very touching! I would recommend!
August "Auggie" Pullman has always been different. He has had to have surgeries just so he can breathe. And the reason Auggie is different is because he was born with a Craniofacial Difference, which means his face doesn't look like other people's faces - which makes them stare. But you know what? On the inside Auggie is the same as all of us - just a regular 5th grader who likes Star Wars, Ice Cream, and lots more! This book teaches us how we are all the same and how a little kindness goes a long way! As Auggie goes into middle school he is very worried since he has been homeschooled all his life - and no he hasn't been homeschooled because of the way he looks. It's because when he was younger he had so many surgeries and caught illnesses very easily that it wouldn't have really worked. This book is told from six different perspectives - Auggie's, Summer's, Jackwill's, Via's, Justin's, and Miranda's - These six different viewpoints all showing us the quiet strength that Auggie has.
