WONDER, by R.J. Palacio - You can't blend in when you were born to stand out | |
  |
Educator Guide: Teaching WONDER with Trudy Ludwig August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. WONDER by R.J. Palacio begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness"—indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out. 
Pledge to "Choose Kind" the bullying prevention campaign inspired by WONDER. During the month of October, Random House Children’s Books will donate $1 to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center for every pledge made. |
