"Let's face it, the universe was not kind to Auggie Pullman." -- Miranda
And still Auggie was able to face the world -- not always an easy thing for him, but he carries it out with intelligence and humor.
The movie is due out in November.
"I don't think we can teach empathy , but we can inspire it ."

It is about a 5th grader named August "Auggie" who has a facial difference and has been home-schooled for most of his young life. He gets enrolled at a middle school for 5th grade and wants nothing more than to feel normal. Instead Auggie gets bullied for his appearance from his peers and along the way you hear from not only Auggie, but from others who are around him begin to wonder what it means to have empathy and compassion. What it means to be a friend, how to accept your friend, but mostly how to be just "act a little kinder than necessary - the world would be a better place".
C'est l'histoire d'un jeune garcon nomme August Pullman qui est atteint des son enfance d'une malformation faciale. Il a l'ecole a la maison par sa mere.

A boy named August is homeschooled because he was born with a distorted face. In Grade 5 he goes to school for the first time and makes new friends. And enemies....
August Pullman has facial deformations he was born with. His childhood consisted of many surgeries and hospital visits. But once he reaches the fifth grade, he starts school at Beecher Prep after being homeschooled his whole life. He encounters many different people, like Julian who isn't the nicest to Auggie. The story is written from many different points of view, including students from Auggies school, his older sister, Olivia and her friends, exploring different opinions on the situation.
In this book we follow August as he goes to school for the first time in Grade 5. When August was born, he was born with a facial deformity. Because of this he has never gone to school. You will also be reading about the people around him and their journeys.
12 year old Auggie Pullman is anxious to start school for the first time. His face is deformed, which makes everything a lot harder. Will Auggie be able to get through the year and make friends, despite what he looks like on the inside?
August Pullman is a boy with rare facial problems. As he enters school for the first time at Beecher prep, he meets new friends and gets teased about and bullied just because of his facial deformities. Wonder is an example of the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover". Read it to find out more about his journey.

Add a Commentthis book is so good!!!!
it makes you feel so many different feelings and makes you never want to put down the book.
if you can i would for sure read the book and watch the movie.
If you want tears, frustration at stupidness, meanness, and just how can people be heartless, but at the same time think, "Yeah, I kind of do that sometimes, but I don't mean to!" (we are all human beings) or think what can I do when I am just one person. Read this book as it shows that although it is hard to be kind and you are just trying to survive in this world, this book shows that you don't have to try to hard when all you have to do is be kind (even just a little as it can go a long way), have empathy, be compassionate, and most of all have wonder at what you can and others can do when you are kind to each other.
It's as good as the book. Awesome cast.
Well written; I enjoyed the way the author provided a unique perspective for each of the major characters in this novel.
it's as wonderful as everyone says. My only quibble is that the sections from different characters have different information, but not that much in the way of distinct voices.
Amazing book to read. Heartwarming and has a strong message in it. Recommend it a lot
Awesome book, I definitely recommend it... teaches you a lot about inclusiveness.
WOW,sad, and entertaining. It is a kind of sad/happy story about a boy with a dis formed face.

A really great book for all young kids to read or have read to them. Kindness is such a strong force that we need more of in this world. I loved how the book puts the reader into the heads of different characters. I think it helps the reader to develop empathy and see the same situation through different lenses. A very good wholesome book.
Ce livre est un des meilleurs livres que j'ai jamais lu!! Il est d'une certaine facon tellement emouvant que j'ai failli pleurer!! Je vous recommande ce livre!!
