Description

Más de 6 millones de personas se han enamorado de La lección de August, el libro que inspiró el movimiento ELIGE SER AMABLE.

Ahora la historia de Auggie está en la gran pantalla protagonizada por JULIA ROBERTS, OWEN WILSON, MANDY PATINKIN, DAVEED DIGGS y JACOB TREMBLAY como Auggie.

Su cara lo hace distinto y él sólo quiere ser uno más.

Aunque siempre trata de esconder su rostro, es objeto de miradas, susurros y reacciones de asombro. August sale poco, su vida transcurre entre las acogedoras paredes de su casa, en compañía de su familia, su perra Daisy y las increíbles historias de La guerra de las galaxias.

Este año todo va a cambiar, porque va a ir por primera vez a la escuela. Allí aprenderá la lección más importante de su vida: crecer en la adversidad, aceptarse tal como es, sonreír a los días grises y saber que, al final, siempre encontrará una mano amiga.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Over 6 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller WONDER and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.

The book that inspired the Choose Kind movement.

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.

About the Author

Mientras R. J. Palacio se dedicaba a diseñar preciosas cubiertas para cientos de autores, soñaba con escribir una novela algún día. Sin embargo, le parecía que nunca llegaba el momento hasta que se dio cuenta de que lo único que tenía que hacer era empezar. Wonder. La lección de August fue su primera novela y se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial que ha inspirado a más de un millón de personas. La historia de Julian, su segundo libro, retoma el universo de Wonder para descubrir su cara oculta. Cuando Palacio decidió escribir El libro de preceptos del señor Browne, pidió ayuda a sus lectores: en dos semanas, había recibido más de mil postales con preceptos procedentes de todo el mundo.
