R. J. Palacio (English Edition)
by Editorial Editorial Pacific, R. J. Palacio
Wonder follows Auggie Pullman, a ten-year-old with a facial difference who attends school for the first time, navigating friendship, acceptance, and self-worth. Through Auggie's eyes and those around him, this touching story celebrates what makes us unique and shows that kindness and understanding can transform lives. Readers will laugh, cry, and come away believing that everyone deserves to be seen and accepted for who they truly are.
You can't blend in when you were born to stand out. My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse. August Pullman wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things. He eats ice cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But Auggie is far from ordinary. Ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all? Narrated by Auggie and the people around him whose lives he touches forever, Wonder is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
