Description
Book SynopsisText in Arabic. August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream schooluntil now. Hes about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if youve ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is, Auggies just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that hes just like them, despite appearances?
Trade ReviewRich and memorable...It's Auggie and the rest of the children who are the real heart of 'Wonder,' and Palacio captures the voices of girls and boys, fifth graders and teenagers, with equal skill. The New York Times I think every mother and father would be better for having read it. Auggie's parents -- who are never named in the book, and don't even get to narrate a chapter of their own -- are powerful examples not only of how to shelter and strengthen a child with heartbreaking facial anomalies, but also of how to be a loving advocate to any kid.
