'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 Auggie just wants to be ordinary, but he was born with a terrible facial abnormality. Now he's attending school for the first time. Can he convince his classmates that he's just like them? Frank, funny and moving, WONDER is a novel you'll remember long after the final page. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life.
