Kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are, and this powerful message resonates throughout the pages of Wonder. Millions have embraced this #1 New York Times bestseller, falling in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face. As the story unfolds, you'll discover why it inspired the Choose Kind movement and captured the hearts of readers around the globe.
Auggie was born with a facial difference that kept him from attending a mainstream school—until now. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, all he wants is to be treated like any other kid. However, his new classmates struggle to look past Auggie’s remarkable appearance. The narrative begins with his point of view and seamlessly shifts to those around him—classmates, family, and friends—creating a rich tapestry that explores empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
Acclaimed by many, including Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com, this book has been recognized as one of the best kids' books of the year. It addresses the pressing issue of bullying among young people in a heartwarming and hopeful manner. R.J. Palacio, the author, describes this debut novel as “a meditation on kindness,” and indeed, readers will leave with a deeper appreciation for the simple yet profound courage that friendship embodies.
