My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.' Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old.

He does ordinary things and he feels ordinary inside.

But ordinary kids don't make other kids run away screaming in playgrounds.

Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life.

Now he's being sent to a real school, and he's dreading it.

All he wants is to be accepted. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?
