“A beautiful, funny and sometimes sob-making story of quiet transformation.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“A crackling page-turner filled with characters you can’t help but root for.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Rich and memorable.”
— The New York Times Book Review
“ Wonder is the best kids’ book of the year.”
“It’s in the bigger themes that Palacio’s writing shines. This book is a glorious exploration of the nature of friendship, tenacity, fear, and most importantly, kindness.”
— The Huffington Post
“Endearing, enduring Auggie and his family and friends will find a place in the hearts of readers and prompt reflection on how we treat others.”
—The Washington Post
“The breakout publishing sensation of 2012 will come courtesy of Palacio [and] is destined to go the way of Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and then some.”
— The Times (London)
“Incredibly charming, brutal and brilliant.”
— The Observer (UK)
“It wreaks emotional havoc….To finish it with a firm resolve to be a better person—well, you can’t ask much more of any book than that.”
—The Independent (UK)
“It is the deceptive simplicity and honesty of the work that make Wonder so memorable. Every single character seems real and well drawn and oh-so human….This book is beautiful.”
—Christopher Paul Curtis,
Newbery Award–winning author of Bud, Not Buddy
“ Wonder is essentially…a wonder. It’s well written, engaging, and so much fun to read that the pages almost turn themselves. More than that, Wonder touches the heart in the most life-affirming, unexpected ways, delivering in August Pullman a character whom readers will remember forever. Do yourself a favor and read this book—your life will be better for it.”
—Nicholas Sparks,
internationally bestselling author
“Full of heart, full of truth, Wonder is a book about seeing the beauty that’s all around us. I dare you not to fall in love with Auggie Pullman.”
—Rebecca Stead,
Newbery Award–winning author of
When You Reach Me
“A beautiful story of kindness and courage. There are many real and well-developed characters, and they each have their shining moments. Of course, Auggie shines the brightest.”
—Clare Vanderpool,
Newbery Award–winning author of
Moon Over Manifest
“ Wonder is a beautifully told story about heartache, love, and the value of human life. One comes away from it wanting to be a better person.”
—Patricia Reilly Giff, two-time Newbery Honor–winning author of Lily’s Crossing and Pictures of Hollis Woods
“This really is a remarkable book!”
—Tom Angleberger, author of the New York Times bestseller The Strange Case of Origami Yoda
“ Wonder is a book with such a big wide heart—it shows how we are all fragile, imperfect, and perfectly beautiful creatures. A wonderful novel by a wonder of a writer!”
—Julia Alvarez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents
“A shining jewel of a story that cannot help but encourage readers of all ages to do better, to be better, in how they treat others in life. I’m totally in love with this novel.”
—Trudy Ludwig, anti-bullying advocate and author of My Secret Bully, Confessions of a Former Bully, Better Than You, and Just Kidding
* “A memorable story of kindness, courage and wonder.”
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred
* “Few first novels pack more of a punch: it’s a rare story with the power to open eyes—and hearts—to what it’s like to be singled out for a difference you can’t control, when all you want is to be just another face in the crowd.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred
* “Palacio makes it feel not only effortless but downright graceful, and by the stand-up-and-cheer conclusion, readers will be doing just that, and feeling as if they are part of this troubled but ultimately warm-hearted community.”
—Booklist, Starred
* “Palacio has an exceptional knack for writing realistic conversation and describing the thoughts and emotions of the characters….A well-written, thought-provoking book.”
— School Library Journal, Starred
“[ Wonder ] is bursting with possibilities for classroom discussion, but it’ll also provide compelling insight for everybody who has ever felt different—in other words, everybody.”
— The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“[Palacio] remains a wonderfully readable and expressive author. This feels as if it is excised straight from Wonder, making it a perfect addition.”
— Booklist
“Children will learn an important lesson about walking in another’s footsteps when they discover what really motivates Julian’s actions. Schools who already have the first book will definitely want to add this follow-up to their collections, as it and Wonder are excellent character education resources for students and teachers.”
—School Library Journal
