The book Wonder is about a boy who faces many challenges in fifth grade. It's from the perspective of many challenging people. August is a boy with a disordered face. He gets bullied in fifth grade but his friends make sure this dose not happen. August's face is what makes him him. He's normal on the inside but on the outside he is one of a kind.
Throughout the story August was judged by his face. Just his face. No one really new how smart he was till they hung out with him. The other students just new him as some awkward looking physco. Not a normal kid like he really is. Especially Julian, who just thinks August is just a big joke, and has some sort of 'cheese touch' kind of the thing.
Also in the story during fifth grade camp August and Jack are out for a potty break, and they run into four seven and eighth graders. They beat up Auggie, Jack, and a few other kids. They also said some mean things to Auggie '"What happend to your face?" "Hey guys I didn't know we were watching lord of the rings... look guys it's Gollum'.
By the end of the story Auggie was treated with more and more respect. He got a Henry Ward Beecher medal. 'Mr.Tushman said "strength was carried with the most hearts"'. This shows that Auggie gained his strength to use for other hearts.
