A special movie tie-in edition of R.J. Palacio's #1 New York Times bestseller, now a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, Daveed Diggs, and Mandy Patinkin.
Over 6 million people have fallen in love with Wonder and Auggie Pullman, the ordinary boy with the extraordinary face, who inspired a movement to Choose Kind. This special movie tie-in edition features an eight-page full-color insert with photos from the film, a foreword by the director Stephen Chbosky, an afterword by R.J. Palacio, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie with anecdotes from the cast and crew, and a family discussion guide.
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. Wonder, a #1 New York Times bestseller, begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in 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, who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

i think this was a very good book an dif you liked it watch the movie
I love this book it is a true story. It has a great tittle. It is about this little boy named August but they call him auggie. He has had about 20 surgeries. Ever since he was born. over 2 million people love reading about Auggie and about the book Wonder. The even love reading about via and her not so great friend. It is Auggie's point of view. I love reading R.J. Palacio. He is supposed to be starting 5th grade pretty soon but he doesn't want to go because he is afraid that he is going to be laughed at and made fun of . He wears a astronaut helmet because he wants to hide his face. He meats A boy named Jack they became friends
I have not finished the book yet but so far it is AMAZING

I like this book because it teaches me that we all are the same. This book is by R,J.Palacio a part i like was when aggie makes new friends.
I read it once and I loved it it was great how it transferred from different characters for every chapter.
This book follows a boy who has never been to actual school before and he has lets just say a weird face many people are afraid of and he is facing a hard time at school. This is my favorite book ever and just a heads up there is a sequal to this book your gonna love it......
