奇迹男孩(平装)
《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?

The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that has captivated over 1 million readers.
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep,
he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York
Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates,
his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and
Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart
and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple
courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
