Wonder by R. J. Palacio

I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.

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

R. J. Palacio has written a spare, warm, uplifting story that will have readers laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. With wonderfully realistic family interactions (flawed, but loving), lively school scenes, and short chapters, Wonder is accessible to readers of all levels.

I just read the book "Wonder" This book is the story of both of my children, Heather and Logan Madsen, both born with a rare disability called Miller syndrome, which affects how their faces look, and how their arms and other parts of their bodies look. They are amazing human beings!!! Logan is an artist, loganmadsenfineart, and Heather is a writer. They speak publicly. See Eight Fingers and Eight Toes YouTube and website also see "Eight Fingers and Eight Toes: Accepting Life's Challenges."
