Wonder.La lección de August.
Su cara lo hace distinto y él solo quiere ser uno más. Camina siempre
mirando al suelo, la cabeza gacha y el equillo tratando en vano de
esconder su rostro, pero, aun así, es objeto de miradas furtivas,
susurros ahogados y codazos de asombro. August sale poco, su vida
transcurre entre las acogedoras paredes de su casa, entre la compañía de
su familia, su perra Daisy y las increíbles historias de La guerra de
las Galaxias.Este año todo va a cambiar, porque este año va a ir, por
primera vez, a la escuela. Allí aprenderá la lección más importante de
su vida, la que no se enseña en las aulas ni en los libros de texto:
crecer en la adversidad, aceptarse tal y como es, sonreír a los días
grises y saber que, al final, siempre encontrará una mano amiga.Desde
que salió el 14 de febrero de 2012, La lección de August se ha situado
en los puestos de las novelas más vendidos en la lista del New York
Times y ha encontrado en la red la mejor manera de promocionarse. Como
dice uno de sus lectores: «Léela. Compártela. Coméntala».
Wonder
'My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.'
Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?
Wonder is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
