جزئیات کتاب
توضیحات
August 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, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and a blockbuster hit, 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.
This beautiful, color illustrated edition includes over twenty-five pieces of original art from Tad Carpenter, the artist behind the original cover. It also includes an essay from R.J. Palacio reflecting on ten years of Wonder and an introduction by Dina Zuckerberg, director of family programs at myFace, a non-profit dedicated to supporting the craniofacial difference community. Experience this extraordinary story like never before.

مشاهده همهO maior mérito do livro é lembrar que gentileza também pode ser um tema literário relevante. A alternância de narradores amplia a compreensão dos conflitos sem transformar ninguém em vilão absoluto. Embora a escrita seja simples, ela evita cair na superficialidade. O livro emociona porque entende que inclusão não depende apenas de boas intenções, mas da capacidade de enxergar o outro como indivíduo. Uma leitura acessível, sincera e surpreendentemente madura.
This was one of my favourite books as a youbg child and still is now. I think I've read it and re-read it more than any other book. Truly beautiful.
