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.
