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 about a kid named Auggie (August) and he was born with a facial problem and though he's had many surgeries none of them helped him look normal which has kept him out of school except for homeschool. one year his mom and dad make him go into 5th grade. at first, he thought he had some friends but at Halloween, he got upset at his only friend and didn't make up for it until after Christmas read the book to see what happened.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder is about a boy, who is different. ( Everyone is different.) Who everyone seems to stare at his face. This boy may seem different. But on the inside he's not. He's kind and caring. But, will everyone come to see his true nice colors?
This book is touching, heartwarming and really inspiring. A must-read, especially for kids in 5-6th grade. It's about a boy named Auggie that looks different from all of the others, and starts 5th grade in a public school (for the very first time).
Auggie, the main character is a really wonderful boy who has facial disabilities. Then, he goes to a new school and meets new people and makes new experiences.
I recommend this book because it is just an amazing book and the adventures inside it are the most amazing part
It was awesome and I loved the suspence .
