āA crackling page-turner filled with characters you canāt help but root for.āāEntertainment Weekly
Meet Auggie Pullman, an ordinary kid with an extraordinary faceāwho shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. This modern classic inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and countless conversations about empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
āRich and memorable.āāThe New York Times Book Review
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST CHILDRENāS BOOKS EVER BY TIME AND PARADE ā¢ E. B. WHITE READ ALOUD AWARD WINNER
I wonāt describe what I look like. Whatever youāre thinking, itās probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that prevented him from going to a mainstream schoolāuntil now. Starting fifth grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated like everybody elseābut his new classmates canāt get past the way he looks.
Beginning from Auggieās point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one communityās struggle to live up to its values.
R. J. Palacio has called her debut novel āa meditation on kindnessāāindeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to remember who proves that you canāt blend in when you were born to stand out.
āA beautiful, funny, and sometimes sob-making story of quiet transformation.āāThe Wall Street Journal

I never knew a book could be so hard to put down until Wonder! It is heartwarming, compelling, brilliant, and original. It speaks the truth about all kids who have special needs and how they tend to be publicly treated! Absolutely amazing!!!

I loved Wonder! I got the chance to read it multiple times, and every time it starts the waterworks. I'm using wonder for a book report for school!
