Wonder R. J. Palacio

‘I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.’ August Pullman, nicknamed Auggie to his friends was born with a facial deformity that has prevented him from going to a normal public school, he has been homeschooled since. He has just entered fifth grade at Beecher Prep and faces a lot of problems such as being a new kid, getting bullied and teased by classmates. Despite his appearance August is just an ordinary 10 year old who likes eating ice cream, riding his bike, and playing his XBox. He feels ordinary inside but knows that ordinary kids don’t make other kids run away screaming. August’s one wish is that he would have an ordinary face that no one ever noticed at all. Can August convince his classmates that he is as ordinary as them despite his appearance?
