Alternative Cover Edition ISBN: 9780552565974 August Pullman wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things. He eats ice cream.

He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But Auggie is far from ordinary.

Ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world.

Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all? Narrated by Auggie and the people around him whose lives he touches forever, is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
