A few other boys from Auggie's class circle back to see what's going on, but when they step in to help, the situation explodes into a scuffle. Sweatshirts are ripped, elbows get scraped, and most painfully, Auggie's expensive hearing aids are lost in the night. Auggie is terrified and hurt, but exhilarated too.

Even in pain and in tears, he realizes that boys who have until this point either actively shunned or passively ignored him have, on this occasion, stood up for him and protected him, and have pledged to continue to do so. The injustice of the cruelty toward August catalyzes a permanent change for the better in his classmates' attitudes.

This turning point signals the end of Auggie's painful isolation. His peers finally accept him as one of their own—as a kid with a heart, a brain, and a great sense of humor in addition to his weird face. Auggie's fifth grade year culminates in victory, and he is admired by students and teachers alike for his courage, his perseverance in the face of difficulty, and the quiet strength of his character.

Welcome to Your Life (Taking Chances #1) by Katrina Marie

Study Guide. Wonder Summary August Pullman has been homeschooled due to some complicated health issues related to a dramatic cranio-facial abnormality and the rigorous surgery schedule that comes with it. Enter: middle school. Chapter 1. Ordinary Part 1 of Wonder is called "August"—as in our main man, not the last month of summer vacation. With this in mind, it makes sense that the book begins with Auggie introducing himself by explaining some of the ways he is and isn't ordinary.

Ordinary: he eats ice cream, rides his bike, has an Xbox and a dog. Not ordinary: ordinary kids run screaming when they see his face.

Welcome to Your Life

If he had only one wish ever in his entire life, Auggie would wish for a normal face. Auggie's family has gotten pretty good at ignoring the reactions of others when they see his face. Except for Via, his sister, that is—she still isn't any good at tolerating rudeness. And no, he's not going to describe himself. Why I Didn't Go to School Even though he looks radically different from other kids, the actual reason Auggie has not attended school is that he has had twenty-seven surgeries since birth. Which means he's been pretty busy. It's not that Auggie doesn't want to go to school.

He used to want to, but only if he could also look like everyone else. He has a few good friends he has known since he was little, but his best friend moved to Connecticut and those who are still around have gotten pretty busy with school and life, and have made new friends. Auggie doesn't get invited to very many birthday parties.

He wonders if he might be overthinking birthday parties. Although they had some idea before his birth that Auggie has a cleft palate and some other issues, nobody is prepared for the extent of his facial deformity when he is born. His newborn face is so upsetting, the cranky young doctor who delivers him faints—yes, passes out cold—when he see him.

Auggie's mother describes the chronically farting nurse nudging the unconscious young doctor with her foot while yelling at him to wake up, but also holding her down so she cannot run out of the room as they take baby Auggie away before she can even see him. He is not expected to live through his first night.

The farting nurse turns out to be really supportive and cool, staying with Auggie's mom the whole time as she learns how sick baby Auggie is; Nurse Farty holds her hand when she finally gets to see him for the first time. Despite his deformity, Auggie's mom sees how pretty his eyes are. Auggie wants us to know that everyone else in his family is good-looking.

Getting Your Visa

Christopher's House Auggie overhears his mom talking to his friend Christopher's mom about Auggie attending school. She knows Auggie needs to learn more than she can teach him—she's terrible at fractions, or instance. His mom thinks that a school called Beecher Prep is the right place for Auggie to go since it is close by, a good school, and not too big. Auggie, however, isn't into this whole going-to-school idea.

Neither is his dad. Auggie can tell his parents are going to get into it. Driving Auggie falls asleep on the drive home from his friend's house. He has to sleep with his head on a towel because he drools when he sleeps; when he awakes, he can hear his parents softly discussing him again. Mom's position is that they can't keep protecting him, but Dad's is that sending him to middle school is like "sending a lamb to slaughter" 1.

Auggie wants to know what's up with that expression, but no one tells him. He starts to cry at the thought of everyone staring at him. His parents want him to meet the principal. Apparently they've already met the principal, showed him family photos, toured the school, and had Auggie tested for admission—all without his knowledge.

  • Auggie cries foul, and his parents admit they probably should have been more, uh, transparent about the process. But they very sincerely tell him how much they love him, want to protect him, and do what is best for him. They discuss all the reasons why Auggie should go to school fractions and stuff , why he should go to this particular school it's close by , and why he should start this year: lots of kids will also be new, he'll make lots of friends, and learn lots of stuff.

    When Auggie hears that the principal's name is Mr. Tushman, he and his dad crack up about it. They crack up even more when Auggie's dad tells him about Roberta "Bobbie" Butt, a professor he had in college. Auggie's dad is really funny. By the time Via wakes up, Auggie has come around to the idea of going to school. Paging Mr. Tushman Auggie meets Mr.

    Tushman at Beecher Prep. Auggie feels shy, but Mr. Tushman is really nice and reassuring. When they enter the school, it smells like a hospital. Nice Mrs. Garcia Auggie meets Mrs. Garcia, Mr. Tushman's assistant. She is really nice, but still does a split-second look-away that Auggie always encounters when people first see him.

    She recovers quickly with a big, shiny, overcompensating smile, and is very welcoming. Auggie's mom comments on a cute baby photo on Mrs. Garcia's desk, and after just a few moments of talking and laughing, Mrs. Garcia relaxes and promises to take very good care of Auggie. Auggie likes this more genuine Mrs. Garcia that emerges, and realizes that she was just nervous initially—just like him. Tushman's office, Auggie hears kids' voices outside the door. He starts to freak out. Tushman has arranged for Auggie to meet and tour the school with a few students from his grade.

    He doesn't want to meet any kids, though.
