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. <b>WONDER</b>, now a #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, 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>"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of <i>Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy</i>. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. <b>R.J. Palacio</b> has called her debut novel €œa 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 <b>you can€t blend in when you were born to stand out. </b><br> <br>Join the conversation: <b>#thewonderofwonder</b>,<b> #choosekind</b>
