From Goodreads:
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?
R. J. Palacio has written a spare, warm, uplifting story that will have readers laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. With wonderfully realistic family interactions (flawed, but loving), lively school scenes, and short chapters, Wonder is accessible to readers of all levels.
Kimberly's Review:
August Pullman was born with a facial deformity. His life so far has been his family, a couple of friends, and homeschool. But all that's going to change. Auggie is going to his first day of fifth grade at a new school. And no one, not even Auggie, knows what to expect.
Beautifully written, Wonder took my breath away. August is a kid who is physic
