"I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's
probably worse.
"
August Pullman was born with a facial deformity 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.
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.
