"My name is August, I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."
Description
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 terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole 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?
Ms. Juliano's thoughts:
I think every person 10 years or older should read this book. I love how it is told from so many different perspectives. The story has a much more dramatic ending than I was expecting and I really enjoyed it-it made me think long after I read the book.
