Keď August (Auggie) Pullman prišiel na svet, lekári predpovedali, že sa nedožije rána. V detstve podstúpil toľko operácií, čo iní nezakúsia za celý život. Pre vrodenú poruchu, ktorej názov väčšina ľudí nevie ani vysloviť, má zdeformovanú tvár, potravu jedáva cez slamku alebo nadrobno pokrájanú, a nie je na to pekný pohľad. Málokto uhádne, kedy sa usmieva a kedy mračí. A predsa je to úplne normálny chalan, ktorý miluje Hviezdne vojny a chce žiť vlastný život. Prvých desať rokov života nemal Auggie ľahkých, no až teraz stojí pred najťažšou skúškou zo všetkých – konečne ide do školy medzi „normálne“ deti. Musí sa pripraviť na zdesené pohľady spolužiakov aj posmech neprajníkov. Niekedy bude ťažké rozoznať, kto je skutočný priateľ. Nájde v sebe dosť síl, aby v škole vydržal, alebo sa vzdá a radšej zostane doma?

Egy csöndes átváltozás gyönyörű, humoros és olykor könnyekig megható története.” (Wall Street Journal) August (Auggie) Pullman arcdeformációval született, így nem járhatott suliba – egészen mostanáig. Épp most kezdi az ötödik osztályt a Beecher Prep Iskolában, és ha valaha csöppentél már be újoncként egy közösségbe, pontosan tudod, milyen nehéz ez. Az a helyzet, hogy Auggie is csak egy hétköznapi gyerek. Csupán az arca nem hétköznapi. Vajon képes lesz meggyőzni az osztálytársait arról, hogy külseje ellenére közéjük tartozik? R. J. Palacio egy modern klasszikust írt. Humoros, felemelő és hihetetlenül megható regényt, amire a végszót követően még sokáig emlékezni fogunk – miután egy ültő helyünkben elolvastuk, és lelkesen továbbadtuk.

Auggie Pullman se narodil s deformovaným obličejem, což mu znemožňovalo navštěvovat běžnou školu – až do nynějška. Teď je ale všechno jinak. Auggie se chystá do běžné školy, a to rovnou do páté třídy. Podaří se mu přesvědčit nové spolužáky, že je navzdory svému vzhledu stejný jako oni?

My name is August. I won't describe to you what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.' Ten-year-old August Pullman wants to be ordinary. He does ordinary things. He eats ice-cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But Auggie is far from ordinary. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, he has been home-schooled by his parents his entire life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, Auggie's parents are sending him to a real school. Can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all? Narrated by Auggie and the people around him whose lives he touches, "Wonder" is a frank, funny, astonishingly moving debut to be read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.

Keď August (Auggie) Pullman prišiel na svet, lekári predpovedali, že sa nedožije rána. V detstve podstúpil toľko operácií, čo iní nezakúsia za celý život. Pre vrodenú poruchu, ktorej názov väčšina ľudí nevie ani vysloviť, má zdeformovanú tvár, potravu jedáva cez slamku alebo nadrobno pokrájanú, a nie je na to pekný pohľad. Málokto uhádne, kedy sa usmieva a kedy mračí. A predsa je to úplne normálny chalan, ktorý miluje Hviezdne vojny a chce žiť vlastný život. Prvých desať rokov života nemal Auggie ľahkých, no až teraz stojí pred najťažšou skúškou zo všetkých – konečne ide do školy medzi „normálne“ deti. Musí sa pripraviť na zdesené pohľady spolužiakov aj posmech neprajníkov. Niekedy bude ťažké rozoznať, kto je skutočný priateľ. Nájde v sebe dosť síl, aby v škole vydržal, alebo sa vzdá a radšej zostane doma?
