A stunning illustrated edition featuring original colour artwork by Tad Carpenter, the artist behind Wonder's iconic cover, which celebrates ten years of this bestselling global phenomenon.

'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 facial difference, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to school. 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 and astonishingly moving novel to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page, this special anniversary edition also features an afterword from the author on ten years of Wonder.

Remarkable . . . It has the power to move hearts and change minds ― Guardian

Incredibly charming, brutal and brilliant ― Observer

It wreaks emotional havoc . . . To finish it with a firm resolve to be a better person - well, you can't ask much more of any book than that ― Independent

When the kids have finished with this, the adults will want to read it. Everybody should ― Financial Times

Awesome . . . So authentic you'll swear a kid wrote the book. And yes, that's a good thing ― Glamour

An amazing book . . . I absolutely loved it. I cried my eyes out -- Tom Fletcher

What a gem of a story. Moving and heart-warming. This book made me laugh, made me angry, made me cry -- Malorie Blackman

I am terrifically jealous of everybody that gets to read Wonder for the first time. Every page is honest, brave and delightful. The most sparkly book I've come across for whiles -- Laura Dockrill

It’s one of those rare books with almost universal appeal: it will make you laugh, cry and break your heart ― The Bookseller

Thoughtful but never preachy. A great book -- Sophie Kinsella

The breakout publishing sensation of 2012 will come courtesy of Palacio, a New York graphic designer whose debut novel, Wonder, is destined to go the way of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and then some . . . It is dark, funny, touching and no Tube carriage will be without a copy this year ― The Times

A children's book that's making grown men cry ― Observer

A children's book that's making grown men cry ― The Observer

Wonder by R. J. Palacio is the tremendously moving story of young Auggie, who was born with a rare syndrome resulting in a severe facial disfigurement. Throughout his life he is ignored, avoided, laughed at, called names and physically bullied. All this sounds very bleak, but Auggie and his family are so delightful, and there are individual acts of kindness that ultimately make Wonder an uplifting, hopeful and important book ― The Bookseller

I am terrifically jealous of everybody that gets to read Wonder for the first time. Every page is honest, brave and delightful. The most sparkly book I've come across for whiles -- Laura Dockrill

It is curious how the gravity of serious subjects can be best expressed through humour. Comedy humanises: the light touch gives weight. It's a tactic R. J. Palacio has used to great effect in her remarkable story of a year in the life of 10-year-old August Pullman . . . It makes ordinary things extraordinary . . . Palacio has a great ear for dialogue, a sharp eye for detail and an instinctive sense of comedy. All this makes her an expert chronicler of ordinariness – and this, paradoxically, is what makes her story of an extraordinary boy so wonderful. Wonder certainly delivers what it promises – an emotional rollercoaster ride in which tears, laughter and triumphant fist-pumping are mandatory. But it is better than that. In its assured simplicity and boldness (reminiscent – it seemed to me – of To Kill a Mockingbird), it also has the power to move hearts and change minds. ― Guardian

One of my favorite books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 31 December 2018

I am almost 10 years old and I recently finished reading "Wonder". It is one of my favorite books so far. I would like to say that I would like to go on a walk and meet all the characters, except Julian and the boys that bullied Augie. This book showed me that you don't judge a boy by his appearance because that's on the outside. I would cheer for everybody. I would cheer ten times for Augie: "AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE, AUGIE!!!!!!". Then for Olivia: "OLIVIA, OLIVIA, OLIVIA, OLIVIA, OLIVIA!!!!!" Then for Isabelle: "ISABELLE, ISABELLE, ISABELLE, ISABELLE, ISABELLE!!!!!" and then for Nate: "NATE, NATE, NATE, NATE, NATE!!!!!". Also for Summer: "SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER!!!!!". For Miranda: "MIRANDA, MIRANDA, MIRANDA, MIRANDA, MIRANDA!!!!!" For Ella: "ELLA, ELLA, ELLA!!!!". For Jack: "JACK, JACK, JACK, JACK, JACK!!!!!". For Henry: "HENRY, HENRY, HENRY!!!!!". For Amos: "AMOS, AMOS, AMOS!!!". For Miles: MILES, MILES, MILES!!!. For Charlotte: "CHARLOTTE, CHARLOTTE, CHARLOTTE!!!". And for all of Augie's classmates and all the teachers and the school principal!!! And if there were more than 5 stars in the rating system, I would definitely give the author as many stars as possible!!!

Overrated

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 October 2018

Verified Purchase

It's a great book to raise awareness of people living with craniofacial abnormality. Also very sad in parts. But I did not like the format, it's not a novel with a storyline more a guide to what it's like to live with craniofacial abnormality. Should be in fact not fiction section in library!

It's okay, nowhere near as good as many reviews make out on here. Perhaps I am so disappointed as my expectations were very high but it's definitely not deserving of the thousands of 5 stars! It is definitely more suitable for children. I found the first part engaging but skimmed the last part which was pretty dull. Nothing really happens and there's no real message in it other than to do what seems obvious to me - look beyond the cosmetic to the person inside. Or look at people with your heart as the Little Prince points out!

Certainly much will be lost on anyone who doesn't get American culture and doesn't have children at middle and high school.

"I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."
🌻
Wonder by R.J. Palacio is a story of a ten-year-old boy named August Pullman. He had multiple surgeries to correct his facial deformity so he was homeschooled. However, his parents decide to send him to a school before he starts studying for fifth grade. The book covers his experiences and struggles in his new school.
🌻
The narrative hit me hard from the very first line. I really liked the spirit of August, who kept a positive attitude even in the midst of hopeless and traumatising situations. I also liked the fact that the author has given multiple point of views in this book. Although the book is written for young readers, I feel that it has a universal appeal. I laughed and I cried while reading this book. There are wonderful lessons about friendship and kindness which everyone should remember and apply in their life.
🌻
Wonder is a wonderful book which will touch the heart and soul of the readers. I loved this book to the core.

Worth reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 March 2018

Enjoyed the book. Read it as a suggestion from a new book club. I think it is fundamentally a book written for children, an ideal book to read with/to a child. I found it in some ways idealistic, a rose coloured view of what reality can be like. But a good book to educate a child on relationships, feelings and the effect our actions have on our peers. I would definitely have enjoyed reading to my son when he was young. It does portray a very positive view of humanity. The characters in the book are mostly intelligent, well educated, "nice " human beings. something in reality is not always the case.

Well done

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 January 2019

I don't usually go for "middle grade kids' books" and can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised in the very nice and human way the main character, Auggie Pullman, was portrayed, despite the basic subject matter of his facial deformity, and in the human nature of children to treat most of what is odd or 'abnormal' to them with either bullying or ostracism because deep down many of them do not know how to be honest about the fact that they are glad it is not them, or how to approach it with a mindset of "how would I like to be treated in their shoes?"
This is a story about a young boy who after years of home-schooling by his mother, is told that she can't really continue doing so and that for him it might be better to go to a 'normal' school. He is confronted with the ensuing conflicting feelings about change and the 'outside world’ that he has mostly been sheltered from. Throughout it is obvious that Auggie strives to be himself and wants to be accepted for whom he is.
The story is beautifully told from many different perspectives: Auggie himself, his sister, sister's boyfriend, sister's former best friend and two of his friends at the school. This technique works really well and each person's narrative is well constructed. The vocabulary attributed to these different personalities is extremely well done and throughout reigns a great sense of humour.
Although bullying is totally inexcusable in any form, it is very difficult to stand up to it and Auggie comes out appearing wiser than his years in the way in which he reacts and subtly rises to it. In that respect the book is most certainly never gritty, nor do I think the author ever meant it to be.

The overall tone of the book is in fact a happy one and I think the author achieved her intention for it to be an uplifting one. Nevertheless, I also felt that she wanted to make people aware that bullying exists and that these actions can be accompanied by a myriad of unexplained reasons and emotions, while also trying to make the reader (hopefully many of them also middle schoolers and others) aware that we are all different and that each and every one of us is unique.
