Product Information

A special film tie-in edition of the internationally bestselling book, packed with exclusive behind-the-scenes content. NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING JULIA ROBERTS AND OWEN WILSON. This exclusive special edition is packed with behind-the-scenes content, featuring interviews with the cast and crew, photos from on set, and introductions by director Stephen Chbosky and R. J. Palacio. Are you ready to meet August Pullman - a boy who's desperate to blend in, but is destined to stand out. '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 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. All he wants is to be accepted. But can he convince his new classmates that underneath it all, he's just like them? Astonishingly powerful, brilliantly moving and joyfully life-affirming, WONDER is a read you'll never forget.

Cleverly written with wit and heart
The book is a compelling story written with emotion, 'wonder' and a straight forwardness which is easy for a young reader to follow. It's short chapters are also make it inspiring to read short chunks giving readers time to reflect and absorb the content. My 11 year son can relate to the characters and it's given rise to daily discussions of difference, family, growing up, school life and much more. It's a brilliantly inspiring and life affirming read. We have seen the film too but this did not put us off from enjoying the detail of a well written book!
