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.

Very good but very sad. I recommend this GREAT book for every on over the age of 8.
this is a pretty sad book. i was a little sad when reading it and felt bad for August. but this book is still really good!
I like how this book teaches you how to not judge people on their appearance. This book reveals a soft spot that you never knew you had. I like how this book has different points of view from different characters. Auggie struggles to find a friend that will appreciate him. It is his first year going to school because has been home schooled up until now. I totally love this book. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!
When I started reading the book i could not put it down.It is about a boy who has had surgery on his face. He goes to school for the first time and gets teased and has a very hard time.
This book is the saddest but most wonderful book in the world! Auggie Pullman is a 10 boy with a deformed face and struggles middle school but he gets help on the way!
It was very sad to know that people will treat you differently just because of your appearance.The book touched me in a special way.
Oh my goodness! This is my favorite book of all time! I love the characters and plot in this book. The way the author made the characters in this book talk is just like how my friends and I talk like. I can't wait to read more books from this author.
This book is good. I like how it switches between the characters points of view.
I like this book it has good ways to deal with friendship problems I like the way the author describes things
