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.
Offers information and advice on the causes, symptoms, consequences, and treatments of depression during the difficult teen years, with a Christian perspective.

The 25th anniversary edition of Baroness Floella Benjamin's classic
memoir, Coming to England. With a foreword by the author and some
additional historical information, this is the incredible story of
Floella's journey from Trinidad to London, as part of the Windrush
generation, to the House of Lords. It is gloriously illustrated
throughout by Joelle Avelino, perfect for readers aged 9+. Floella
Benjamin was just a young girl when she, her sister and two
brothers arrived in England in 1960 to join their parents, whom
they had not seen for fifteen months. They had left their island
home of Trinidad to make a new life in London - part of a whole
generation of West Indians who were encouraged to move to Britain
and help rebuild the country after the Second World War. Reunited
with her mother, Floella was too overwhelmed at first to care about
the cold weather and the noise and dirt from the traffic. But, as
her new life began, she was shocked and distressed by the rejection
she experienced. She soon realized that the only way to survive was
to work twice as hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This
inspirational story is a powerful reminder of how courage and
determination can overcome adversity.
