SUMMARY:

An amazingly touching, emotional and uplifting story about a young boy called Auggie. Auggie was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to school. However, he is now starting middle school and wants nothing more than to be treated as a normal kid. Along the way though, many children are kind and many are not.
