Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Millions of people have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face -- who shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. Read the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and the critically acclaimed graphic novel White Bird. And don't miss R.J. Palacio's highly anticipated new novel, Pony, available now! I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse. August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid--but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. Beginning from Auggie's point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" --indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

Starred Review,Publishers Weekly, February 20, 2012: "Few first novels pack more of a punch: it's a rare story with the power to open eyes--and hearts--to what it's like to be singled out for a difference you can't control, when all you want is to be just another face in the crowd." Entertainment Weekly, February 10, 2012: "In a wonder of a debut, Palacio has written a crackling page-turning filled with characters you can't help but root for. A-" Starred Review,Booklist, February 1, 2012: "Palacio makes it feel not only effortless but downright graceful, and by the stand-up-and-cheer conclusion, readers will be doing just that, and feeling as if they are part of this troubled but ultimately warm-hearted community." Starred Review,School Library Journal, February 1, 2012: "Palacio has an exceptional knack for writing realistic conversation and describing the thoughts and emotions of the characters. Everyone grows and develops as the story progresses, especially the middle school students. This is a fast read and would be a great discussion starter about love, support, and judging people on their appearance. A well-written, thought-provoking book. " Starred Review,Kirkus Reviews, December 15, 2011: "A memorable story of kindness, courage and wonder."

  • Profound, entertaining, brilliant is WONDER.

    As a fifth grade teacher always wanting to put quality literature in the hands of my students, I found WONDER to be one of the best and most significant children's books written in the past fifteen years. The way Ms. Palacio handles a child's being different through not just his eyes, but the point of view of his family, friends and even his nemesis is compelling, insightful and brilliant. As an adult reader I was swept away from start to finish. The added "Julian" chapter took what was already an outstanding story to a profound place of history and familial legacy that tied up the whole humanity journey beyond my expectations. An A+ reading experience. In all my years as a teacher, my one bafflement upon finishing this most satisfying book? How in the world did THIS piece of ...

  • Read The Book (Without Pictures), THEN See The Movie!!!

    Purchased for my 8 1/2 year old granddaughter for Christmas, 2017. I thought it important that I read it as well, so we could discuss, and I recommend this book for everyone! The descriptives in the book allow a child to use their mind's eye to imagine how Auggie Pullman appeared to himself, and others. Everyone, at any age, can identify with some aspect of the book. Outstanding!!!

  • Should be required reading for all.

    This book really nails how it is to be different and to be bullied because of it. The story is about a boy who is born with a deformed face. Even though he is like any other person with the same needs and feelings and wants, he is rejected by most. The story shows how much kindness towards others can indeed change life for the giver and the receiver. The author did a terrific job in writing this book.

  • You Have Got To Get This Book!

    Wonder is a very fascinating book. The more you read, the more curious you become of what happens next. Kids would love this book. It provides a lot of funny moments at the beginning of the book. I’m giving this a 5 star because it is a very funny and heartwarming book. There are lots of different emotions occurring in the book. Mostly by the end. This book has different perspectives of what other people think or know what happens or what has happened in the book. My favorite part was when August and Jack Will became friends again and when August forgave Jack for what he had said about him. That was my favorite part because it’s friendship and it’s nice when August forgave Jack when Jack apologized. The characters were not believable to me. I do not know anybody that has been ...

  • Great purchase. Wonderful story.

    I got this book for my daughter and she loved it! She had read part of it in school but didn't get to finish it. We saw it at the book fair at the elementary school, but we had already purchased quite a few books. I told my daughter I would get it for her birthday and decided to shop for it online. I read the first few pages and decided it would be a great one to read aloud before bedtime to my 8 and 11 year old children.
