August was born with a rare genetic flaw, a facial deformity that prevented him from attending a normal school. So he was home schooled by his mother. After much thought his parents have decided it is time for Auggie to go to school. So they take him before school starts and a few students come to show him the school. Thus begins the process of trying to fit in. It is Auggie's story, but also the story of the students faced with trying to fit into middle school. Will Auggie get the chance to show he is just like any other person. This novel will remain in your heart and soul. It reminds me of Freak the Mighty, but even more poignant. A must read for everyone. Coming February 14, 2012 $15.99 Alfred Knopf Ages 9-12
