內容簡介
'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 - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, 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? Wonder is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
《奇跡男孩》的靈感來自一位小女孩。一次，帕拉西奧和孩子們外齣，停下來買冰激淩時發現排在前麵的小女孩臉部嚴重傷殘，她三歲的兒子看到女孩的臉之後立刻哭瞭起來。為瞭避免孩子尖叫傷害到小女孩及其傢人，帕拉西奧立即匆忙帶著孩子離開，離開時她聽到後麵小女孩的母親冷靜、友好地說：“好瞭，孩子們，我們該走瞭哦。”
事後，她很自責，也開始思考：這個小女孩及其傢人每天要經曆多少次這樣的事故？就在那天晚上，她聽到瞭收音機中播放的娜塔莉·莫森特的歌麯《奇跡》，隨即動筆，寫下這部動人的處女作。
奧吉是一個普通卻又不普通的男孩。因為有著一張不普通的臉，十歲之前的他從未上過學。但是，十歲這一年，父母為奧吉精心挑選瞭一所學校——畢徹中學。自此，奧吉開始瞭異常艱辛的校園生活。他如何與校長圖什曼先生、各個科目的老師，以及性格迥異的同學們相處？上學之後的他與傢人之間的關係又有何新的挑戰？在人群以及各種各樣意想不到的衝突中，他該如何往前？
孩子，盡管成長的路異常艱辛，謝謝你從未放棄。
一段充滿勇氣、愛與希望的成長旅程，
一個十歲男孩破繭成蝶的不凡故事……
這不僅是一個孩子經曆的人生磨難，
也是所有父母都會經受的心理曆程。
人看外貌，天看心。
一個麵目醜陋、內心善良的奇跡男孩的勵誌故事。
