His mom often doesn’t know when to stop.) And as things snowball out of control, Julian wonders just what his place is at school. (Julian is actually kind of embarrassed by this. When Julian’s mom gets a look at Auggie, she seems to make it her mission to get him out of the school. But nobody understands just how difficult it is for Julian to be around Auggie. He starts the game pretending that Auggie has the plague, he makes faces behind Auggie’s back, and he writes horrible notes and puts them in the boy’s locker. Julian makes his feelings about Auggie widely known. So what if his face is different? Does that mean that everyone has to bend over backwards to be nice to him? And Julian doesn’t get what is so special about Auggie anyway. Julian wants nothing to do with the strange-looking new kid who seems to have the power to jump-start Julian’s night terrors. We didn’t hear Julian’s side of things in Wonder, but now it’s his turn to tell his side of the story.įrom the very beginning, Julian knows that he and Auggie are not going to be friends. One of those bullies is a boy named Julian.

We learn of his struggles with fitting in, being accepted, and dealing with bullies.

In Wonder, we meet Auggie Pullman, “an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.” He, along with a few other characters, tells us all about Auggie’s first year attending public school. It doesn’t matter how young or old you are. If you haven’t read this book, you should. A couple of years ago, I fell in love with Wonder, a brilliant, beautiful novel by R.J.
