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 by R.J. Palacio by far earns five stars! When I read this book for the first time, I fell in love with the main character, August Pullman. August, or Auggie has an uncommon facial disorder and is attending his local public school for the first time. Being homeschooled all his life, he is not knowledgeable about school and how cruel his fellow peers will be. He makes friends who stick to his side like glue and endures harsh bullying at the same time, all while dealing with the hatred that he has of his face. You will never forget this beautiful, tearjerking novel. I completely recommend Wonder to everyone.
I decided to read this book because lots of people like it so I thought it would be good and it was AMAZING! I recomend it so much You will learn so much from this amazing story about a boy who is born with a face disease and went to school for the first time and has a hard time there are some mean kids but he makes many friends and learns to love it
This book was so inspiring that I nearly cried. This book is about August (Auggie) Pullman, who has a rare medical facial deformity, also known as Treacher Collins syndrome or a cleft palate. He is starting in a new school, at age ten, and he is easily the easiest target for bullying. As he goes through the school year, people are jealous, people are supporting, and some people are just neutral. He bears through it all and he forms the most heart-breaking story ever made. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book.
i recently got this book and i have barely started reading it but i LOVE it! im sure anyone else who gets it will too!
