'Wonder' is the story of Auggie, a boy born with a facial abnormality. The novel explores themes of empathy, friendship, acceptance and celebrating differences and is told from different perspectives. In the story, Auggie faces bullying and misunderstanding at school due to his appearance. However, other than his facial abnormality, he is a normal kid who enjoys spending time with his friends and family. He has been homeschooled for many years, but his mother feels he should start attending school with other children.
