“A crackling page-turner filled with characters you can’t help but root for.”—Entertainment Weekly

Meet Auggie Pullman, an ordinary kid with an extraordinary face—who shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. This modern classic inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and countless conversations about empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

“Rich and memorable.”—The New York Times Book Review

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST CHILDREN’S BOOKS EVER BY TIME AND PARADE • E. B. WHITE READ ALOUD AWARD WINNER

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

August Pullman was born with a facial difference that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. Starting fifth grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated like everybody else—but his new classmates can’t get past the way he looks.

Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle to live up to its values.

R. J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness”—indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to remember who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

“A beautiful, funny, and sometimes sob-making story of quiet transformation.”—The Wall Street Journal

Heartfelt Story

This book, a story about a little boy going through the 5th grade, made me cry twice! I didn't know anything about it going in and had no expectations. It feels like it was written for a younger audience. The story is told from the perspective of the kids and is narrated by kids. But I would recommend it to anyone wanting a sweet, honest story. It applies to all ages and the universal needs of connection, insecurities and kindness. I loved it!
