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.

highly recommend! this book is awesome! #bestbookever
LOVE the book it was very exciting and educational!!!!! Wonder is one of my favorite books in the whole world!!!! The only part that i didn't like is when Daisy dies, that part actually made me cry lol! Overall this book and the movie are the best things I read and watched!
I love dogs, but I hate the fact that a dog dies :(
Same man:(
I mean i love the dog too but the one star rating really wasn't neccasary.
How you look does not matter. That's what this book is really about in my opinion. Yes, people can be mean, and sometimes down right cruel, even to themselves. But there are kind people in the world. This book almost had me in tears. I fully recommend it to everyone, especially those who don't like how they look or are getting bullied for how they look. This book will save you. <3
This book really shows you the struggle of fitting in, making TRUE friends, and accepting differences. LOVE THIS BOOK!
This book shows you that its ok if your different. You just have to be confident. Life is always going to have ups and downs and you have to accept that.
I have only seen the movie, which is really heartfelt and there are sad parts, funny parts and parts that I can't really explain. Wonder is a Wonder-ful movie (see what I did there?). I remember a part in the movie where august says to himself; I can't wait 'till halloween. I believe he says this because He has an astronaut helmet to cover his face. He wants that on because he was born differently and because of that he wants that astronaut helmet on to hide his face. And his face is what looks much different than what a normal kids face looks like. I don't want to spoil anything else so I won't say anything else. Bye! :)
i love it. Auggie is a boy born with many defects. He has been homeschooled for his whole life, but his parents decied to send Auggie to school. Via, his sister, is not comfortable when August( Auggie) comes to her school play. Some kids are mean to Auggie, but some are nice. This is a Heartbreaking story about a 10 year old boy who had 27 sugeries in his life. 100% reccomend
I read this book but only half of it
