WONDER -- a narrative full of heart and hope about a young boy born with a facial difference8/31/2017 Wonder by R. J. Palacio (2012, Knopf Books For Young Readers; 320 pages) "I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse." That's how this entertaining and touching story about August Pullman, a young boy born with facial birth defects, begins. It follows the boy, his family, and his new friends as he enters his first year in public school. A #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, Wonder 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. Find this title in our catalog: Wonder Recommended by: Brooke
