The multi-million-copy bestseller WONDER showed how choosing kindness and empathy can change the lives of those around you.

Now, in AUGGIE & ME, you can discover a new side to the WONDER story in three new chapters from three different characters:

Julian: Auggie’s classroom bully
Christopher: Auggie’s oldest friend
Charlotte: Auggie’s classmate

These three stories are heartbreaking, surprising, funny and hopeful. Just like WONDER, AUGGIE & ME will make you laugh, cry and try to choose kind.

AMAZING! I am a massive Wonder fan, and I loved reading Auggie's story through the eyes of everyone else. It was beautifully written, and my favourite story was Shingaling, although they were all amazing. I think, if you haven't, you should read this after Wonder as it is a great follow up read. 5/5!

Intresting

01 Jul 2023

it is one of my favorites as well, it is so emotional and it is like a back story.
I actually feel bad for the bully,Julian, after i read this book

30 Aug 2022

This is a fictional book. It is about a boy who looks different and he deals with a bully, an old friend and a new friend. I think this book is good for all ages and is a brave story. My favourite character was a character called Chris, because he is brave and funny. He is also very supportive and doesn't care what's on the outside of someone - only on the inside.

08 Aug 2022

I did like this book but some of the parts were a bit dodgy and boring but I thought CHRISES was not
I liked Charlotte best because she sounds a bit like me
Im not sure if I would recommend it or not because I couldn't follow the story very well.

If you have read Wonder, I would certainly recommend reading this. It was interesting too see how Julian's attitude changed eventually.

Fab book , second book of wonder. Crazy truth about Julian’s feelings toward August. Unlike other books this one has 3 different peoples perspective which is very interesting.

This is a fiction book (made up), my favorite character was Julian because of what he felt in the end . Julian had done bad things then in the end he felt remorse.

This interested me because it was such an enjoyable book to read.

I would recommend this book to people who read Wonder ( 1st book ) , also for people aged 8+.

Must read

I find that this book relates to the modern world. I think my favourite persons point of view is Julian. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories with mixed emotions.

23 Jun 2022

I really enjoyed seeing what was happening in the other character's lives. My favourite story was Charlotte's. I really liked the way that it showed the trials and tribulations of middle school.

Having read and loved Wonder several years ago, I was thrilled to see this companion book on the shelves of my placement classroom library. This was my second time reading Auggie and Me and I found it equally moving, hopeful, and thought-provoking as I did first time around. I particularly enjoyed the insights into the character of Julian, who - as the author explains in her foreword - is very easy to dismiss as a villain while forgetting he is just a kid. I would recommend this book to every single child in my class and beyond, as the message of choosing kindness is one we all need to learn and internalise.

02 Jan 2022

My Favorite character was Julian because he showed that no matter how you look at things there is always another side to it and even though he wasn't the nicest character it showed you how when you do something bad and sly you will never get away with it, not really. I would defiantly recommend this book to someone else. I liked the way it showed what happened in different peoples point of view.

30 Jul 2021

This is a great book very thought provoking.

Age: 10 or 11+
My favourite character: Julian as he learns over his mistakes and finds out about his past and Auggie.
Three words: Emotional, Friendship, Disability

This was definitely moving and heavily emotional

This book contains three stories that are based on the book Wonder. I enjoyed this book because the author showed the personalities of Julian, Christopher and Charlotte. I recommend reading Wonder before this.

This book was awesome and epic! My favourite character was a girl called Summer. I liked her because she is kind and a good friend to Auggie. She is also a good dancer. This book is fiction. It was less sad than Wonder. It interested me because in one of the stories there was a boy called Julian whose grandma told him all about when she was little and she met a deformed person. I would recommend this book to a kind person and a good friend.

This story explains the characters from 'Wonder' in more detail.

10 Aug 2020

What I love about this book is that there are three amazing perspectives. In another way, you could say, the same story told in different ideas and feelings.

08 Aug 2020

it was a heart warming book about 3 kids who's lives were changed forever by the arrival of a new kid to there school

01 Aug 2020

I like this book as it shows that there's lots of different perspectives and sides to every story, and that everybody has a different view on things. It is a brilliant companion to Wonder and I would recommend it to anyone who has read the book, otherwise it would be a bit hard to understand.

30 Jul 2020

I really liked this book because it tells a different story from three people's eyes. Julian (the first boy) had a story where he went to see his grandma and that made him realise that he was bulling August. Christopher's story (the person in the middle) was about seeing Auggie and his mum was in a car accident. Charlotte's story (the girl on the right) was about girl drama and being in a dance. She was also telling people how she was in TV commercials when she was 6.

It was good to see more sides of the story

16 Jul 2020

a boy that gets bullied very sad its actually called wonder and he gets treated bad just because he had something in his hair or something

27 Jun 2020

I liked Jack the most because he was really funny
It was interesting because it's a really good lesson to learn

22 Sep 2019

I found this very thought-provoking and I enjoyed it very much. I liked how we saw into other characters mind so we could show more empathy and get the bigger picture. I liked Julian's Gran best and her life story and how that made Julian apologize to Auggie. I would recommend this to anyone who judges Julian and who wants to get the bigger picture.

28 Aug 2019

Amazing book, makes you think about how other people are a lot

07 Jan 2019

Wonder tells the story of August Pullman : an ordinary boy born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, whose first year at Beacher Prep school changed the lives and the perspectives of everyone around him. Auggie and me is a new side to Wonder story - three new chapters from three different characters: Julian the bully ; Auggies oldest friend Christopher ; and, classmate Charlooyr his new friend at school. I think I preferred Wonder than Auggie and me because it was more exiting and creative. However, Auggie and me is still good and I rate it 4/5!

15 Sep 2018

Auggie and me is a great accompaniment to Wonder. This book covers the extra characters in Wonder that did not have a turn to tell their story. I especially enjoyed Justin's story because you start to understand more about him. I loved this book, five stars!

12 Jul 2018

This book is a sequel to Wonder. It talks about Julian's, Summer's and Charlotte's views of Auggie. Great book! I would definitely recommend this to people aged 9-13

22 Jun 2018

Not as good as the original 'Wonder' book, but it was interesting to read the story from the point of view of other characters. I would recommend this to people who have read 'Wonder' - it won't make much sense if you haven't!

04 Feb 2017

brilliant. if you read wonder before or after that book i think it will make more sense.

27 Sep 2016

It's very emotional especially the Julian chapter
