VIDEO My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.'
Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. 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. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?
Now featuring a brand-new chapter told by bully Julian, Wonder is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
Untitled This is a story which will make you realise who you are on the inside is much more important than who you are on the outside. Auggie is a 10 year old boy who knows what it's like to be judged based on your looks; with a rare facial disorder, he looks slightly different to those he's surrounded by. Wonder is a beautifully written novel about loving without boundaries. - Emily (QBD) Guest , 23/03/2017
