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 not a great book
This book was a sad book because this boy was different from everyone else and they just bullied him just because of how he look on the outside,but they didn't know him on the inside until this boy started being friends with him,and that's when everything changed.
I love this book because it talk about a boy who have disablity. So this gave you a character lesson " don't juj someone".
It's a great, and emotional book thank you R. J. Palacio for making this book it's awesome!! Thank you so much! :D
Best. Book. Ever.
I've read almost all the book and I've seen the movie it's so sad I've asked my mom and dad for the book and I've asked for it for christmas I love it
I give it 5 stars, of course
When I read "Wonder", I was so moved by it, it is such a "WONDERful" book!
Hello, I am Dorkpop2000 and today I will be reviewing, ‘Wonder.’ I picked up this book from the library because of how popular it was on DOGO and I wanted to read it myself. I have to admit, I was expecting a more, ‘grown-up’ book but I didn’t mind that much. I had no idea the book was going to be about a boy with a rare medical facial deformity. I was surprised. I had never read a book about the main character with Treacher Collins Syndrome or a deformed face before. The first few chapters were okay and then in the middle it became REALLY good. I loved how the author didn’t just write it from Auggie’s perspective, but from other people’s as well. Summer, Jack, his sister... It gives us an idea what’s on their minds and their thoughts about Auggie. I was so sad when I finished the book, I have to give it 5 stars! (Now all I need to do now is watch the film!)
