Ten-year-old Auggie Pullman, who was born with extreme facial abnormalities and was not expected to survive, goes from being home-schooled to entering fifth grade at a private middle school in Manhattan, which entails enduring the taunting and fear of his classmates as he struggles to be seen as just another student.

Review of 'Wonder' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Solid feel-good story with incredibly short chapters and several perspectives. There are a few unanswered questions, and the last major incident a little too convenient, but overall this is a 4 star read. My daughter thinks 4.5 stars; I mostly agree, but round down. My favorite part was the precepts.

The author has released add-on stories, the first as an ebook which I am reading now.
