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.
