Miracle (Hardcover)

When You're Destined to Be Extraordinary, You Can't Stay Ordinary...
Hello, my name is August. I'm not going to tell you what I look like.
I probably look worse than whatever you're thinking.
August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that meant he couldn't go to a regular school...until now. He'll be starting fifth grade at Beecher Middle School soon, and if you've ever been the "new kid", you can imagine how tough that can be. Auggie, who loves ordinary things like ice cream and playing games on his Xbox, is actually just an ordinary kid with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that behind his appearance, he's just like them?
"A miracle, actually...a total miracle. Do yourself a favor and read this book; it will improve your life."
