Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
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,
now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas
Bluebonnet Award master list, 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. (Amazon.com)
