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.

I love love love this book, our teacher is reading it to us, and my friend already read the ending, and at reading time, one second she was like, in the book, and one second she was crying. She said it was so sad and good and beautiful. I like it a lot, too. It makes you feel grateful about the things you never thought you would think about. Whenever you feel like the unluckiest person in the world. Think about it. What about the homeless, the deformed people, the people that don't have a family, etc.
my teacher is reading it right now and I like it.it is about a little kid had to have a lot of sugeys and now he looks funny on the first day of school nobody liked him and people started being mean to him then he got a friend named Summer and the person who was making fun of him he does not have a lot of friends and people are not talking to him.So I think the lesson is do not be mean to people your they will be mean to you.So now you can see why I like this book and why I think you should read it.

We loved this book. Wonder was surprising and very emotional book. It made us care a lot about Auggie. We stand up for Auggie against the bullies. This book showed us we can stand up for other people.
