Wonder is for everyone who's felt like they are too ugly to fit in at school, like everyone is making fun of them as soon as their back is turned, like no one would ever truly want to be their friend. Or for everyone who's made the hard choice to be kind, and found their lives a little richer for it.  It's not too shy to be specific, to be clear that this story is about Auggie, but at the same time, it opens up a world for any kid or anyone who might feel alone to find a friend.
