Description

<b>A special movie tie-in edition of R.J. Palacio's #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, now a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, Daveed Diggs, and Mandy Patinkin!<br><br></b>Over 6 million people have fallen in love with <i>Wonder</i> and Auggie Pullman, the ordinary boy with the extraordinary face, who inspired a movement to Choose Kind. This special movie tie-in edition features an eight-page full-color insert with photos from the film, a foreword by the director Stephen Chbosky, an afterword by R.J. Palacio, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie with anecdotes from the cast and crew, and a family discussion guide.<br><br>August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid--but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. Wonder, a #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. <br><br>In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" --indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out. <br><br>Join the conversation: #thewonderofwonder, #choosekind<br><br>#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller<br><i>USA Today</i> bestseller<br><i>Time</i> Magazine's 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time<br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> Notable Book<br><i>Washington Post </i>Best Kids' Book<br><br>"In a wonder of a debut, Palacio has written a crackling page-turner filled with characters you can't help but root for." --<i>Entertainment Weekly<br><br></i>"Rich and memorable." --<i>The New York Times<br><br></i>"A beautiful, funny and sometimes sob-making story of quiet transformation." --<i>Wall Street Journal</i>
