    August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school - until now. He’s about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you’ve ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie’s just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, despite appearances?R. J. Palacio has crafted an uplifting novel full of wonderfully realistic family interactions, lively school scenes, and writing that shines with spare emotional power.

    Ruth Nielsen says: "A thought provoking story for any age listener ~"
    "even my 7 year old was engrossed"

    Story
    Would you listen to Wonder again? Why?

    yes! my 7 year old son became engrossed with this story and it lead to some really thoughtful discussions. My whole family enjoyed it and was interested in hearing everyone's point of view. it is a story that sticks with you.


    What other book might you compare Wonder to and why?

    i read 'out of my mind' and loved it. i was torn until about halfway through which one i enjoyed more. 'wonder' finally won. it is entertaining and thought provoking. it was very real to life.


    Any additional comments?

    this was a great listen for a long car ride. when it was over, we wanted more.
