“I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.” August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Now he’s going to start fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and he wants nothing more than to be treated like an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Find out how both Auggie and his community change as they get to know one another.

"No describiré cómo me veo. Lo que sea que estés pensando, probablemente sea peor". August Pullman nació con una diferencia facial que, hasta ahora, le ha impedido ir a una escuela convencional. Ahora va a comenzar quinto grado en Beecher Prep., y no quiere nada más que ser tratado como un niño común, pero sus nuevos compañeros de clase no pueden superar la extraordinaria cara de Auggie. Descubre cómo cambian tanto Auggie como su comunidad a medida que se conocen.
