Now an Oscar nominated film starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay.
'My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.'
Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?
WONDER is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
A family follows the end of a rainbow in search of treasure. What
awaits them at the end? This picture book features colorful
illustrations and a simple story to help early readers follow along
on this family adventure. Celebrate family and the importance of
spending time together with this beautifully illustrated picture
book. With pre-reading questions, this book is ideal for guided
reading and builds early literacy skills.

the animals that live there, then fills the scene with zoologists
to explore how this exciting science actually works. Then, turn the

still searching for answers. Every page is bursting with facts
