Wonder

Outside of his looks and the physical problems that accompany his birth defect, Auggie is just like any other little boy. He is ordinary in every way. He is special because of the way he has handled his challenges.

I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I mean, sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an XBox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary. I guess. And I feel ordinary. Inside. But I know ordinary kids don’t make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. I know ordinary kids don’t get stared at wherever they go.
