Wonder

#1 New York Times Bestseller, Wonder by R. J. Palacio is the unforgettable story of August “Auggie” Pullman, a boy born with a facial difference who enters mainstream school for the first time in fifth grade. All Auggie wants is to be treated like any other kid, but his classmates struggle to look beyond his appearance. Told from multiple perspectives — including Auggie’s, his sister’s, and his classmates’ — the novel beautifully captures one community’s journey toward empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Both deeply moving and uplifting, Wonder explores themes of kindness, courage, friendship, and the power of choosing empathy in the face of cruelty. Inspiring the global Choose Kind movement and adapted into a major motion picture, this beloved novel reminds readers of all ages that true strength comes from the heart — and that sometimes you were born to stand out.
