August Pullman is an ordinary 10-year-old boy with an extraordinary face. In Wonder, readers join Auggie’s journey as he begins the 5th grade at Beecher Prep, after being home-schooled all his life. Told from multiple children’s perspectives, including Auggie’s sister Via and his friends Jack and Summer, readers experience a full range of emotions as Auggie tries to make friends and fit in, despite being different. Wonder is a modern classic—funny, uplifting, and incredibly moving. It’s a “memorable story of kindness, courage, and wonder.”

A book signing with author R.J. Palacio will follow the program.
