Publisher Description
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.

Wonder review
My child read this book at school and came back obsessed with it! She watched the movie straight after they finished the book and loved it! We bought this audiobook for her to get her to sleep easier and it worked magic! Love this book no flaws (even though my daughter pointed out a typo) solid 5!
Amazing
I liked how it really got to you and in some bits you just feel really happy
