Product description

‘Has the power to move hearts and change minds’ Guardian

‘Tremendously uplifting and a novel of all-too-rare power’ Sunday Express

‘An amazing book . . . I absolutely loved it. I cried my eyes out’ Tom Fletcher

Read the award-winning, multi-million copy bestselling phenomenon that is WONDER in this new tenth anniversary edition.

‘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?

A funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut – and a true global phenomenon – to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.

    Fantastic Wonder book!

    This is a fantastic book with a very important meaning about how you shouldn't judge people by what they look like it whats on the inside that counts

    I thought this book was very moving. It took me into another world. A world where people are scared of your face. A world where people are so cruel that they run away. I absolutely Loved it.

    “It’s like people you see sometimes, and you can’t imagine what it would be like to be that person, whether it’s somebody in a wheelchair or somebody who can’t talk. Only, I know that I’m that person to other people, maybe to every single person in that whole auditorium. To me, though, I’m just me. An ordinary kid.” ― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

    A sweet, heartwarming story that will bring the toughest readers to the brink of tears. Loved this book.

  15. Eymane143

    This book should be read by all children and adults, and definitely studied in schools. There are so many beautiful narratives and teachings points that we can learn from. Palacio has written a truly brilliant book I’m sure will stand the test of time and has the potential to be adapted into many things.

    This book was beautifully written and built suspense page by page! I think bullying should stop and i felt very sorry for poor Auggie. I can’t imagined being home schooled but i guess it felt normal. I feel very lucky to have so many amazing wonderful friends, this book was really heart-warming!

    This author is wonderful at bringing stories to life. She uses real life issues that help you to put yourself in each character’s shoes. A humourous book, written from different people’s prospectives, which makes It a truly captivating story. Great job, Palacio

    i like this book because it is out of the ordinary. his name is August and he is different to everybody else. i got intrigued with the book when i was in the bookshop, i was looking for a book and i saw this one. i started reading it and lost track of time in the bookshop. when i got up from reading i realised that i had read more than half and i decided to take it home with me. i finished it in about 1 hour after.

    This book is so so beautiful, and really highlights real life issues. Auggie is such a sweetheart, and the way the chapters are written from different people’s perspectives really helps to give an insight into the book.

    This book is absalotely fantastic. It’s very sad though. In parts of the book I nearly cried. Auggie wants to be normal and not get stared at but his friends do it anyway. Auggie does make friends though and ends up happy. READ THIS BOOK :)
