August "Auggie" Pullman is a 10-year-old boy living in North River Heights in upper Manhattan, New York, with his mother Isabel, father Nate, older sister Olivia "Via", and dog Daisy. He has a rare medical facial deformity, which he refers to as "mandibulofacial dysostosis", and has undergone 27 different surgeries as a result. Auggie has been home-schooled, but as he approaches fifth grade, his mother decides to enrol him in Beecher Prep, a public school. Before the school year begins, Auggie meets with Mr Tushman, the principal, who arranges a tour for him with three other students: Jack Will, Julian Albans, and Charlotte Cody. When school starts, Auggie is initially ostracized by nearly the entire student body, but soon forms a close friendship with Jack.Recommendation:
This book will make you laugh, cry and read bad and good things, but it will make you believe in people. Watch how August is going to have enemies and friends in the school and how all of them will have a similar opinion in the end.

Pluto by R.J. Palacio
Synopsis:
Christopher was Auggie's best friend from the time they were babies until his family moved away; he was there through all of Auggie's surgeries and heartbreaks, through bad times and good—like Star Wars marathons and dreams of travelling to Pluto together. Alternating between childhood flashbacks and the present day, an especially bad day for Christopher, Pluto is the story of two boys grown apart learning that good friendships are worth a little extra effort.
Synopsis:
In this third Wonder Story, they’ll get to see his first year of school and what follows at the beginning of the next year through the perspective of reader-favourite Charlotte.

365 Days of Wonder: Mr Browne's Book of Precepts by R.J. Palacio
Synopsis:
In the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Wonder, readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr Browne and his love of precepts. Simply put, precepts are principles to live by, and Mr Browne has compiled 365 of them—one for each day of the year—drawn from popular songs to children’s books to inscriptions on Egyptian tombstones to fortune cookies. His selections celebrate kindness, hopefulness, the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills. Interspersed with the precepts are letters and emails from characters who appeared in Wonder. Readers hear from Summer, Jack, Charlotte, Julian, and Amos.
There’s something for everyone here, with words of wisdom from such noteworthy people as Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., Confucius, Goethe, Sappho—and over 100 readers of Wonder who sent R. J. Palacio their own precepts.
