Wonder: R. Palacio

`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?
