I won t describe what I look like. Whatever you re thinking, it s probably worse.

August Pullman was born with a facial difference that prevented him from going to a mainstream school until now. Starting fifth grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated like everybody else but his new classmates can t get past the way he looks.

Beginning from Auggie s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community s struggle to live up to its values.

R. J. Palacio has called her debut novel a meditation on kindness indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to remember who proves that you can t blend in when you were born to stand out.

A beautiful, funny, and sometimes sob-making story of quiet transformation. The Wall Street Journal
