Wonder by R. J. Palacio

You can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

Auggie Pullman was born with a facial difference that has kept him out of school — until now. As he enters fifth grade, he faces a world that isn’t always kind, but also one that has the power to surprise him with compassion, courage, and friendship.

Heartfelt and transformative, Wonder is a story about acceptance, empathy, and the quiet strength of choosing kindness. R. J. Palacio’s masterpiece reminds readers of every age that what makes us different is what truly makes us beautiful.
