A special movie tie-in edition of R.J. Palacio’s #1 New York Times bestseller, now a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, Daveed Diggs, and Mandy Patinkin. Over 6 million people have fallen in love with Wonder and Auggie Pullman, the ordinary boy with the extraordinary face, who inspired a movement to Choose Kind.

This special movie tie-in edition features an eight-page full-color insert with photos from the film, a foreword by the director Stephen Chbosky, an afterword by R.J. Palacio, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie with anecdotes from the cast and crew, and a family discussion guide. August(Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school.

Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid–but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Wonder, a #1 New York Times bestseller, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others.

These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. 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 root for, who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

命運對他開了一個殘酷的玩笑，但愛，讓生命化為不可思議的奇蹟！

十萬讀者鼓掌淚推！一個天生缺陷的男孩克服萬難、勇敢長大的感人故事。

「我不會把我的長相描述給你聽的。無論你腦中有什麼想像，恐怕都比那要糟得多。」——奧吉，十歲

成長，對他來說，是一條異常艱辛的道路，每跨一步，都需要比別人還多的勇氣……
怪物、外星人、噁心鬼、蜥蜴臉、突變人……別人總是在他背後交頭接耳、竊竊私語。

他是奧吉，一個遺傳罕見基因，天生臉部有殘缺的男孩。一出生，醫生就斷定他活不過三個月，但奧吉卻憑著旺盛的生命力活了下來，經過大大小小的面部整容手術，他逐漸朝「正常人」的路走去，但五官仍然非常扭曲，像有人用大鉗子把他的臉從中間壓扁。小時候，他不論走到哪都戴著一頂太空人頭盔，因為唯有躲在頭盔之下，才不會引來別人異樣的眼光。

十歲這一年，奧吉第一次踏進學校，進入了醜的、胖的、和別人稍有不同就會被霸凌的殘酷青春期。就在他即將融入新學校之際，一場萬聖節的惡作劇把奧吉的自信打到谷地。惡作劇背後的真相究竟是什麼？因奧吉所掀起的戰爭，又有什麼驚人的內幕？在充滿潛規則的中學校園，一不小心，就會從「受歡迎」淪落為「被排擠」的邊緣人……到底誰是敵、誰是友？敵友的分界，是否真的如此壁壘分明？奧吉要如何靠著他的智慧和幽默感，化解危機？每個人的不同抉擇，又將如何扭轉自己和他人的命運？

奧吉的入學像是一顆震撼彈，深深影響了他周圍的人。作者除了描繪奧吉眼中的世界，也加入他同學、姊姊、姊姊的男友等六個青少年的多重敘事觀點，透過他們不同的快樂、煩惱、困惑和掙扎，逐漸拼湊出事件的全貌。

一個充滿淚水、愛與希望的生命旅程，述說一個平凡的男孩，如何接納自己、勇敢長大的不凡故事；也述說他的出現，如何奇蹟似的改變了所有人的一生……
