Wonder (Palacio novel)

Rare card · No. 73180

Wonder is a contemporary children's novel written by R. J. Palacio and published on 14 February 2012. It centers on August "Auggie" Pullman, a boy with significant facial differences who enters mainstream school for the first time. Palacio drew inspiration for the story both from Natalie Merchant's song "Wonder" and from an experience where her son reacted with distress upon seeing a girl with facial deformities. Several spin-offs have been published, including 365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Book of Precepts, We're All Wonders, Auggie and Me, and White Bird. A film adaptation was released in 2017, and a spin-off sequel film (adapting White Bird) followed in 2024.
