Listen to a chapter from WONDER, the poignant and heartwarming new book by R.J. Palacio.

I wont describe what I look like. Whatever youre thinking, its probably worse.

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. Hes about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if youve ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggies just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that hes just like them, despite appearances?

Wonder will be published in the UK on the 1st March 2012 by Random House Childrens Books & 7th June 2012 by Transworld.
