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. 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 with empathy compassion and acceptance.

Auggie is a hero to root for a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
