Read WONDER, the bestselling and award-winning novel, in this new tenth anniversary edition.

My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.

Auggie wants to be a normal 10-year-old kid. He does normal things—eat ice cream, play on his Xbox. He feels normal—on the inside. But normal kids don't make other normal kids run screaming in playgrounds. No one stares at normal kids wherever they go.

Auggie was born with a terrible facial deformity and was homeschooled by his parents his entire 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, and stunningly moving debut novel—and a truly global phenomenon—to be read in one sitting, passed on, and remembered long after the last page.
