Wonder by R.J. Palacio (Wonder #1)

The book that inspired the Choose Kind movement. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past his extraordinary face. Wonder begins from Auggie’s point of view, but 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. Goodreads: 4.39 Hardcover edition: 2012
