Wonder by R. J. Palacio Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Millions of people have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face—who shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. Read the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and the critically acclaimed graphic novel White Bird.

And don't miss R.J. Palacio's highly anticipated new novel, Pony, available now!

I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
 
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. Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. 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, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

Love it. I love this book so much it is so touching and cute thank u for making it and yea

😍😍😍. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read.

Really Amazing. I read this in 5th grade and two years later I still remember reading it! I would totally recommend. -Addie

One of the best books ever.. I felt like that you gave the people in the book how they think of something and I have never seen this in any book.So I would rate this 5 out of 5 stars

100000 out of 10. I don't think I can describe enough how much I love this book and how good this book is!!!

Wonderful!. This book is so emotional, it serves a great message, be yourself. The most important thing in the world. Overall great book great message for kids.

Wonder-full. This book is good

Ok. It was a ok book

Wow.. Ok, so I don’t usually read novels. Here’s how I got to read this book: my fifth-grade class was having a trip to the school library. The book I picked out was a graphic novel (I read those a lot. Like, a lot-lot.). It turned out that it was on hold and they had just forgotten to put in the “hold” section. I didn’t find any other books I would have liked, but I found this book. I decided to get it since I’d already watched the movie a few years ago. I smacked it onto the librarian’s desk, thinking I wouldn’t really read it and maybe an occasional skim. Boy, was I wrong. I opened it up in class and I was hooked. Engaged. Call it what you want. Anyway, I read it the whole day. I swear I would have stayed up late just to finish it. It was awesome. I’m definitely planning to watch the movie again.

Wonder. This is the best book.

WONDER. I only read the sample but thought it was a great book.Too bad it’s not free.😁❤️

AMAZING. This book is amazing! But like when are you going to make anything else?

it’s okay. Not really my type of book, I think it has good writing but it’s kind of cheesy and I can’t really relate to it.

Wonder-ful!. I figured out that the moral of the story is to just be yourself. You don’t need other people telling you that you are ugly on the outside, but you can be beautiful in many ways.

Amazing book!. This book is so so So SO GOOD! I would urge anyone to read this book! I was able to relate to August and the sad parts made me ball my eyes out! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Ilovedogs. So I read this book it is so good I felt really bad for ogggy Cause he got bullied but I watch movie it is so good

Love it!. So sad,yet so happy

This book isn’t so bad. This book actually tells a sad story and kind of a mean one as well but I love this book also I’m doing this book with my class but not now I just wanted to say this book is a very good story I hope the rest of you all but a five star review on this and also tell how much you like this book and say thanks to the author as well! :) -Helen

awesome. good book

I love penissssss. -max held

Richard5959. Great Book!😀

Who said that Auggie is ugly? And btw I luv this book so far. Ok so I just saw a review that said Auggie is ugly but he was born like this so u shouldn’t be so judgmental. Anyway, I’m currently in 5th grade and I’m reading this book in class and I actually rlly like this book so far. It was really funny and most of the characters are really nice (except for people like Julian) but this book teaches u to be yourself. And I’m almost done with the book. So this book is a 9/10 (for now..!)

Amazing 💛. Honestly, I don’t know where to start about wonder. This is an amazing book. I started reading this book a couple month ago and now I read it every month. It’s just so sad how people treat other people who aren’t “normal” in their eyes. It’s just not right, and people need to learn how to be more kind in this cruel world because you never know what other people are going through. All of the characters are perfectly made and I love how you get the POVs of most characters and how they feel. Personally, I didn’t really enjoy how for Justin’s P.O.V, It didn’t capitalize the words. I’m looking forward to watching the movie because I have a feeling it will make me cry like the book. I would DEFINITELY recommend reading the book/movie. -Quinn the Wonder fan.

Ethan.G. It’s just such a sad but sweet ok to read

I really like this book. People say that this book is for younger kids but I don’t understand why because I’m an eighth grader and I read wonder ALL THE TIME. It’s a really good book and so inspirational. The only part I think could have been better is if when Jack punched Julian, I think that Julian could have said something more harsh. I mean, it’s not okay to call somebody a freak and orc and whatever Julian called Auggie, but if he would’ve said something like much more harsh than maybe it would’ve made more sense. If someone says something like, “you don’t have to be partners with the desk if you don’t want to” it’s better to yell at the person and tell them off instead of really hurting them. But other than that, I simply loved the book, really. Palacio should write more Auggie books.

I actually love this book. This is a great book (my apinion) um I love this book because I think it basically saying and teaching that no matter what stay strong and be you because it done not matter how you look like 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🖊❤️but actually I love this book.

Awesome!. I read this with my class a few years ago, and I was sucked in immediately. I begged to get my own copy, and I love it so much. I completely recommend to anyone needing a nice story to read, or they just want to laugh.

Inspiring book. This book is very inspiring. It shows that you should be who you are. And to stand up for your self when hard times come. This book is a 5 star read I recommend this book.

Made me want to read!. Possible spoilers ahead August’s struggle with self-consciousness and bullying was very well written. Reading from other characters’ points of view was interesting. It was a little confusing figuring out when the Parts. Took place in relation to each other. The quotes from other books and plays were an integral part of the story and served an important role in the book. I thought all the focused-on characters were very well written, especially Olivia Choose Kind

Wonder. Ugly kid

An Example of Encouragement. I read this in school and I love this book so much. It’s a great book for learning how different some people can look on the outside. I definitely recommend to any teacher, middle schoolers, and even adults. I also think this book is great example of encouragement. Auggie is definitely a brave 5th grader who has some challenges in life with bullies and making friends, but that never stopped him. I definitely think the book is better that the movie, and i’m not a huge reader! Thank you for making and outstanding book!

Best book ever!. I’m in 8th grade and This was the first book I ever read that I enjoyed. When I was in 5th grade I read it for the first time. then in 6th grade I read it agin and then again in 7th grade. I love the book so much I can relate with so many characters. I hope the author knows that this book is amazing.

Bruh. Why are people so obsessed with this book

Best book ever!. This is my favorite book I’ve ever read! This book has some sad and emotional parts but it also has funny and exiting parts! I love this book so much and I really recommend it!

Love. I love the movie and I love the book

Great story for all kids. Loved reading this book. I read it because my son was reading it. It was a wonderful story!

I haven’t read this book yet. I like that this book has positive messages. I still haven’t read it, but it has good reviews. I kind of feel sorry for Auggie because he has kind of a strange face, I hope I get to read this sometime!

I recommend!. I love how R.J. Palacio narrates Auggie’s perspective. It sounds exactly like a kid that would be Auggie’s age. Another thing I love about this way the book is written is that Even though the book takes place throughout the entire school year, it doesn’t seem rushed at all. The book sends a powerful message too. The story never gets boring. I reread this book a year later and it still made me laugh, cry, and think. I recommend this book not just for older children and tweens, but for teens and adults too!

Good concept and message, but not much else. I personally like the concept and moral of this book. It’s really good and could make a great story. And that’s about it. Otherwise, I didn’t like this book. It’s mostly filler, and I wasn’t engaged while reading it. Also, I hope this doesn’t sound messed up, but August isn’t appealing at all. I feel that he cries over everything and uses his medical condition as an excuse. He doesn’t seem to be as old as he really is. The chapters being different viewpoints is also a cool idea that wasn’t executed greatly. The attempt to connect all of them together was sort of a fail. Overall, if you’re thinking about reading this book, don’t get it for yourself. You might as well read it in school and do work about it so you have a reason to pay attention to the book.

Hi. I’m about to read this! I’m so excited. To the person who said it’s as good as Out Of My Mind:YESSS OUT OF MY MIND FANNSSS SAMESIESSSSSS I just finished reading this. Amazing!

A Genuine Review For Wonder Novel. One of the best fiction book I have ever read. No wonder it is a New York Times Bestseller!!! Wonder is equally as good as Out of My Mind (another cool book, you should definitely check it out. I was on the verge of tears reading that and Wonder made me sentimental too). Wonder has a lot of heartwarming moments and is one of the biggest hits of all times. R.J. Palacio’s novel made everyone’s heart melt, including these ones who gave very bad reviews. I think that everyone deserves a chance of getting to read this book, and getting to know the moral of Wonder. So basically Wonder talks about a 10-year-old boy, August “Auggie” Pullman, who’s face has a serious medical condition. He carries a rare gene which makes his face looks deformed. He struggles as he goes to school for the first time (fifth grade), with many bullies at school, including a mean someone named Julian Albans. He did meet some friends though, and went on an incredible yet heartwarming (for us) adventure in Beecher Prep and this book reminds me of my third grade year. So many incredible, wonderful things happened. And when he received the award (I expected that at around half of the book), I thought that Auggie deserves it. Of course, Via and Justin and many of the other characters are great too. And I like Beecher Prep. I like their precepts. The message that this book, as well as Beecher Prep hopes to deliver is that, in this dark, evil world, we might as well always find a corner of light, happiness, and kindness. Thank you for reading. Have a great day. P.S. hope you can bring more kindness and light to the world too(even though there are a lot of depressing stuff happening around us)! —Reader

not great. i had to read this book two years ago in fifth grade, and wanted to rip my eyeballs out during every second of it. don’t get me wrong i am a very avid reader, i even want to be a author when i grow up. but this book is awful. first of all: the author tried so hard to have so many P.O.Vs and characters. she tries too make the P.O.Vs link up in the end which turns out to be very sloppy. i know justin’s P.O.V had horrible grammar, making it very hard to read. second of all: even though august is the main character of the book is very unlikable. he’s cry’s and whines about everything. literally. like yes we get you have a disability but that can’t be your excuse for everything. in the book he always states he wants to try and be a normal kid but when he actually did (i.e: going to middle school) he couldn’t handle and cry’s about everything. i especially never understood the infatuation with his sister, olivia. olivia is in highschool now she’s growing up, joined the drama club and everything. so when it’s her big night he throws a tantrum. because he wasn’t the one getting the attention. this kid is impossible.

10th Time Reading. I’ve read this book 10 times and it never gets old!

Okay. This book was okay, but I wouldn't waste your money buying it. Watch the movie. It is much better. I didn't read the whole book, because there was something in the book I didn't like at one part.

One of my favorite books. This book was a amazing read. I recommend this book. The story line was so sad but wonderful that I was literally crying while reading.

IT WAS AMAZING. Great

Good book because. You looked 👌🏿👌🏾👌🏽👌🏼👌🏻👌

Good. Nothing is wrong with this book and I did enjoy it when I was younger, now I just feel like its everywhere so I like it a little less.

Wonder. Inspiring

Wonder. This is a wonderful book that made me feel sad, glad, cry, smile and even laugh at times. It is heart warming and demonstrates the need to always be kind. I always try to put myself in someone else’s shoes and I truly wish more people practiced that! - Joannie

Wonder-ful. This is a great book for anyone to read it does not matter young or old, this book teaches you so much about being different and how change can make a difference in someone's life.

Wonderful Indeed. I admire and salute August Pullman for being one of the bravest kids I've ever known. This book is inspiring! Kudos to RJ Palacio. Best book of 2013 so far.

I love this book soooooooo much!!!. It is an interesting story that I think you would want to read every day for at least an hour like the series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This book has 1034 pages !!!! Nothing bad in this story. Great for kids 8-17 ! I give this a HUGE rating because it is an AMZING book about a little 10 year old named August. His parents call him Auggie. That is all. -A person that loves this book

But this book was emotional well I didn't cry it was sad yes but I loved it when jack had a crush on a girl it was funny but I wish that the author could see this because I want to tell her it was AMAZING I can read over a million times and i won't get tired of it. It's a story that you'll never forget.

Wonder. This book was so amazing! I never thought that a kid would be deformed....... It was a little sad to :( But it was still good :D
