Wonder

Discover the massive international bestseller that started a global movement to "Choose Kind." Wonder by R. J. Palacio is a deeply moving, funny, and beautifully written novel that has captured the hearts of millions of readers of all ages around the world.

The story revolves around August "Auggie" Pullman. Auggie was born with a severe facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. He is an ordinary ten-year-old kid who loves Star Wars, video games, and his dog, but his appearance makes people stare, whisper, and look away in shock wherever he goes.

Now, Auggie is about to start fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and all he wants is to be accepted as a normal student. But can he convince his new classmates that he is just like them, underneath the surface?

Told from multiple perspectives - including Auggie’s, his sister Via’s, and his classmates' - this brilliant novel explores the ripples of a single community struggling with empathy, bullying, and true friendship. It is a powerful reminder that you cannot blend in when you were born to stand out.
