内容简介
'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.
《奇迹男孩》的灵感来自一位小女孩。一次，帕拉西奥和孩子们外出，停下来买冰激凌时发现排在前面的小女孩脸部严重伤残，她三岁的儿子看到女孩的脸之后立刻哭了起来。为了避免孩子尖叫伤害到小女孩及其家人，帕拉西奥立即匆忙带着孩子离开，离开时她听到后面小女孩的母亲冷静、友好地说：“好了，孩子们，我们该走了哦。”
事后，她很自责，也开始思考：这个小女孩及其家人每天要经历多少次这样的事故？就在那天晚上，她听到了收音机中播放的娜塔莉·莫森特的歌曲《奇迹》，随即动笔，写下这部动人的处女作。
奥吉是一个普通却又不普通的男孩。因为有着一张不普通的脸，十岁之前的他从未上过学。但是，十岁这一年，父母为奥吉精心挑选了一所学校——毕彻中学。自此，奥吉开始了异常艰辛的校园生活。他如何与校长图什曼先生、各个科目的老师，以及性格迥异的同学们相处？上学之后的他与家人之间的关系又有何新的挑战？在人群以及各种各样意想不到的冲突中，他该如何往前？
孩子，尽管成长的路异常艰辛，谢谢你从未放弃。
一段充满勇气、爱与希望的成长旅程，
一个十岁男孩破茧成蝶的不凡故事……
这不仅是一个孩子经历的人生磨难，
也是所有父母都会经受的心理历程。
人看外貌，天看心。
一个面目丑陋、内心善良的奇迹男孩的励志故事。
