THE ICONIC #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WITH MORE THAN 16 MILLION COPIES SOLD

“A crackling page-turner filled with characters you can’t help but root for.”—Entertainment Weekly

Meet Auggie Pullman, an ordinary kid with an extraordinary face—who shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. This modern classic inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and countless conversations about empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

“Rich and memorable.”—The New York Times Book Review

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST CHILDREN’S BOOKS EVER BY TIME AND PARADE • E. B. WHITE READ ALOUD AWARD WINNER

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 prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. Starting fifth grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated like everybody else—but his new classmates can’t get past the way he looks.

Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle to live up to its values.

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 remember who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

The voices on this audible book are a wonderful match to the characters. They pull you into this story, both plot and emotions. This is one of the best audio books I have listened to!

Narration is SO Authentic

I was happy when Augie went to a new school and sad when the dog died. I really liked the book 😄

I wish there is more!

This review is admittedly a bit of a rant. This book was recommended to me, but I didn’t enjoy it. Furthermore, I don’t want my kids to read this novel. Every kid in this book, except for one, has a sense of entitlement. Every 10-year-old has a phone. Parents answer their phones mid conversation with their kids. 10-year-olds have TVs and PlayStations in their bedrooms. There is a giant graduation ceremony for every grade. Finish Grade 5? Over the top ceremony for you! I just don’t want my kids thinking that all of that is normal.

Another problem is the resolution of the conflict. The bully just slowly fades away and the other kids just decide to be nice. Just like that, they're nice. Wouldn’t it be great if bullies in real life just faded away and kids became nice?

If I was forced to state a positive of the book, I guess it would be that the novel has multiple narrators and it was interesting to see how other characters saw the main character. The theme of the novel, be kind, is also important, but other kids’ books have done this better.

The narrators are all children. They were fine, but, of course, most struggled to read the voices of adults.
