Wonder by R.J. Polacio

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to school--he's been homeschooled--until now. His parents make the decision that it's time he faced the world. 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. He wants to be a regular kid, making friends and doing ordinary things. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite his appearance? This story has you laughing one minute and crying the next and it's hard to believe that it is uplifting and heart-warming and should be read by all kids.
