My name is August.

I won't describe to you what I look like.

Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.

Ten-year-old August Pullman wants to be ordinary.

He does ordinary things.

He eats ice-cream.

He plays on his Xbox.

He feels ordinary - inside.

But Auggie is far from ordinary.

Born with a terrible facial abnormality, he has been home-schooled by his parents his entire life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world.

Now, Auggie's parents are sending him to a real school.

Can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all? Narrated by Auggie and the people around him whose lives he touches, Wonder is a frank, funny, astonishingly moving debut to be read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
