ENGLISH DESCRIPTION**
**
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.
