Praised by R.J. Palacio as "wondrous"-this moving memoir follows a
teenage boy with TC syndrome and his exceptional family from
diagnosis at birth to now. "This touching memoir is a must-read for
anyone who wants to know more about the real-world experiences of a
child with craniofacial differences and his extraordinary family.
It's also more than that. It's a story about the love between a
mother and a son, a child and his family, and the breadth of
friends, helpers, and doctors that step in when the unexpected
happens. It's a story that will make young readers reevaluate the
word 'normal'-not only as it applies to others, but to themselves.
Any book that can do that is pretty wondrous, as far as I'm
concerned." -R.J. Palacio, author of Wonder In this uplifting and
humorous memoir brimming with black-and-white comic illustrations,
Nathaniel and his mother, Magda, tell the story of his growing up
with the same craniofacial syndrome as the boy from Wonder-from
facing sixty-seven surgeries before the age of fifteen, to making
friends, moving across the country, and persevering through
hardships. How they tackle extraordinary circumstances with love
and resilience is a true testament to Nathaniel and Magda's
extraordinary family, and to families everywhere who quietly but
courageously persist.
