Wonder By R.J. Palacio

AN UPLIFTING, HEART-WRENCHING, AND PROFOUNDLY HUMAN PHENOMENON.

"My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."

Meet Auggie Pullman. Born with a facial abnormality that has kept him from a mainstream classroom for his entire life, Auggie is now facing his biggest challenge yet: fifth grade at Beecher Prep. All he wants is to be treated like an ordinary kid—to play on his Xbox, eat ice cream, and make friends—but he quickly discovers that the world isn't always kind to someone who looks different.

Wonder is a breathtakingly moving, frank, and funny debut that has captured the hearts of millions. It is more than just a story; it is a global movement about choosing kindness in a world that often prioritizes judgment. Through multiple perspectives, R.J. Palacio weaves a narrative that is as gut-wrenching as it is triumphant, leaving readers with a renewed sense of empathy. This is a book to read in one sitting, share with everyone you know, and carry in your heart long after the final page.
