Wonder | R. J. Palacio
The extraordinary #1New York Timesbestseller that has captivated over 1 million readers and inspired a movement to choose kind.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 kidbut his new classmates cant get past Auggies extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggies point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one communitys 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 cant blend in when you were born to stand out. Join the conversation: #thewonderofwonderFrom the Hardcover edition.

Beatrix and I were quickly hooked on this story of Auggie Pullman, a boy born with severe facial deformities who, after being homeschooled for his primary years, is encouraged to start attending a public middle school. Auggie is bullied relentlessly but also finds friendship and eventually acceptance. A good reminder for all of us of the importance of kindness above all else.

AMAZING BOOK! Great for all children, but especially a great read aloud for upper grades. Children are able to create their own image of August in their head and fall in love with the kindness of his character. He is a great example of not knowing what someone else is going through and as a reader you are able to hear his thoughts throughout the chapters as his character develops.

Contemporary fiction. This book represents contemporary fiction because it Is set in the recent past. It also explores social aspects about children who have facial difference. I enjoyed this book very much as it goes through the struggles of Auggie the main character and how he overcomes them. This book was published in 2012.
