È la storia di Auggie, nato con una tremenda deformazione facciale, che, dopo anni passati protetto dalla sua famiglia per la prima volta affronta il mondo della scuola. Come sarà accettato dai compagni? Dagli insegnanti? Chi si siederà di fianco a lui nella mensa? Chi lo guarderà dritto negli occhi? E chi lo scruterà di nascosto facendo battute? Chi farà di tutto per non essere seduto vicino a lui? Chi sarà suo amico? Un protagonista sfortunato ma tenace, una famiglia meravigliosa, degli amici veri aiuteranno Augustus durante l'anno scolastico che finirà in modo trionfante per lui. Il racconto di un bambino che trova il suo ruolo nel mondo. Il libro è diviso in otto parti, ciascuna raccontata da un personaggio e introdotta da una canzone (o da una citazione) che gli fa da sfondo e da colonna sonora, creando una polifonia di suoni, sentimenti ed emozioni. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

Work Description

Wonder is a children's novel written by R. J. Palacio,[2] published on 14 February 2012.

R. J. Palacio wrote Wonder after an incident where her son noticed a girl with a severe facial difference and started to cry. Fearing he would react badly, Palacio attempted to remove her son from the situation so as not to upset the girl and her family but ended up worsening the situation. Natalie Merchant's song of the same name made her realize that the incident could illustrate a valuable lesson. Palacio was inspired by Merchant's lyrics and she began writing. She named the book directly after the song and used the song's chorus as the prologue of the first chapter.
