About this ebook

Over 15 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller Wonder— now, the wonder returns with a companion book of life lessons and inspiration from Auggie's favorite teacher—perfect for back to school! Based on the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement and a major motion picture, readers will fall in love all over again with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.

And don't miss R.J. Palacio's highly anticipated new novel, Pony, available now!

In Wonder, readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr. Browne and his love of precepts. This companion book features conversations between Mr. Browne and Auggie, Julian, Summer, Jack Will, and others, giving readers a special peek at their lives after Wonder ends. Mr. Browne's essays and correspondence are rounded out by a precept for each day of the year—drawn from popular songs to children’s books to inscriptions on Egyptian tombstones to fortune cookies. His selections celebrate the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills.

There’s something for everyone here, with words of wisdom from such noteworthy people as Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., Confucius, Goethe, Sappho—and over 100 readers of Wonder who sent R. J. Palacio their own precepts.

Ratings and reviews

I have the book it has quotes like from Anne frank and more I still have it. I have it sence 4th grade well I got it in 4th grade. Not living☺😍love book and you guys should read it.oh and one more thing it comes by monthhs

Okay, Mr. Browne is one of the best fictional teachers ever. He can't quite beat Chiron, but he is close. This book, is good for who was read the wonder series. It also gives a lot of good morals to live by. It gives you a look into Mr. Browne's mind, and gives you looks at what happens after wonder ends. It also answers what in my mind is one of the biggest myst'ories of the series, Who told on Julian for the notes? I won't give you the answer here, you will need to read the book to find out. I think you should read this one after The Julian Chapter, and Shinggaling. So the conversations make since. It's a grar book, but it's to short, I want more.

BEST BOOK EVER READ IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE I JUST CANT STOP READING IT
