Description
Wonder is the story of a young boy born with a severe facial deformity. He is small for his age, but cognitively he is bright and clever. Auggie's parents had been homeschooling him, but decide it is time for him to go to middle school. They choose Beecher Prep in NYC. The story follows his experience in school: experiencing stares in the halls, his family's and his teachers' worries, making friends, etc. Auggie is not ordinary. His life has been dictated by his face and how others see him. As the other students learn to see past the surface, they love Auggie for his humor and courage. By R.J. Palacio. 313 pgs. ~ Sara
Publisher's Description of Wonder
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 kidbut his new classmates cant get past Auggies extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggies point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one communitys struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
