About the Book

Wonder is R.J. Palacio's beloved, deeply moving debut novel about kindness, courage, and what it truly means to be extraordinary. Ten-year-old August "Auggie" Pullman was born with a rare craniofacial condition that has left him with a severely different appearance from other kids his age, and after years of homeschooling and undergoing numerous surgeries, Auggie is about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep — the very first time he'll attend a mainstream school.

Auggie is funny, smart, and just wants to be treated like an ordinary kid, but his new classmates are not quite prepared for his unique face, and Auggie must navigate the daily challenges of stares, whispers, and cruelty as he tries to find his place and make friends in a world that isn't always kind to those who look different. Told through multiple, alternating perspectives — including Auggie's own voice, his sister Via, and several of his classmates — the novel builds a rich, multidimensional portrait of a community learning, sometimes painfully, to see beyond appearances. Ultimately a story about empathy, acceptance, and the everyday power of choosing kindness, Wonder has become a modern classic that asks readers of all ages to consider what it truly means to be a friend.
