Description: The tale of Auggie, a boy with 'mandibulofacial dysotosis' - or in plain English 'rare facial birth disfigurement'. Yet his first foray into school life, having been home educated to this point, isn't so much about what he looks like ("Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse") and more about how people react to him. At school he meets both with cruelty and bullying and with acceptance and kindness.
