Wonder

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read the award-winning, multi-million copy bestselling phenomenon that is WONDER.

''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.
