Wonder by R.J. Palacio





August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?


Wonder is a story about an amazing young man who displays strength and courage in tough times.  Get ready to laugh, cry and cheer for August as he triumphs over many obstacles during his first year of school.
