'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 - 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?
A funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut - and a true global phenomenon - to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.

Con motivo del 10.º aniversario de su publicación, llega una nueva edición con preciosas ilustraciones a color de Wonder, una novela esperanzadora y absolutamente necesaria que ha conmovido a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.
El antídoto contra el bullying.
Su cara lo hace distinto y él solo quiere ser uno más. Camina siempre mirando al suelo, con la cabeza gacha y el flequillo tratando en vano de esconder su rostro, pero, aun así, es objeto de miradas furtivas, susurros ahogados y codazos de asombro. August sale poco, su vida transcurre entre las acogedoras paredes de su casa, entre la compañía de su familia, su perra Daisy y las increíbles historias de La guerra de las galaxias.
Este año todo va a cambiar, porque este año va a ir, por primera vez, a la escuela. Allí aprenderá la lección más importante de su vida, la que no se enseña en las aulas ni en los libros de texto: crecer en la adversidad, aceptarse tal como es, sonreír a los días grises y saber que, al final, siempre encontrará una mano amiga.
En un mundo en el que el bullying entre los jóvenes se está convirtiendo en una verdadera epidemia, los libros de la serie Wonder ofrecen una nueva visión refrescante, necesaria y esperanzadora.

«Em dic August, per cert. No penso descriure la meva cara.
Segur que és molt pitjor que tot el que us esteu imaginant».
August (Auggie) Pullman ha nascut amb una greu deformació a la cara i s'ha hagut de sotmetre a tantes operacions que no ha pogut anar mai a l'escola; fins ara, que té deu anys i està a punt de començar cinquè a l'escola Beecher. Si alguna vegada heu sigut nous, ja sabeu que dur que és.. Doncs imagineu-vos com deu ser quan tens una cara com l'August. Aconseguirà que els seus companys l'acceptin com un més, encara que sigui el nen més estrany que han vist mai?
En un món en què el bullying entre els joves s'està convertint en una veritable epidèmia, els llibres de la sèrie Wonder ofereixen una nova visió, necessària i esperançadora.
No t'estiguis d ellegir aquest llibre: la teva vida serà millor.
La crítica ha dit:
«El que fa que aquesta novel·la sigui tan extraordinària i tan deliciosa és la insòlita generositat amb què R.J. Palacio ens explica la vida de l'Auggie. El resultat és una història preciosa i divertida -i que de vegades et fa plorar a llàgrima viva- sobre una transformació silenciosa.»
