Another Carnegie Book Award shortlist title...

'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. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled his whole life but now he's going to a real school - and he's dreading it.

WONDER is a really moving story that will make you laugh and cry.
