Plot
August "Auggie" Pullman is a 10-year-old boy living in Brooklyn with his mother Isabel, father Nate, older sister Via, and dog Daisy. He was born with a rare facial deformity "mandibulofacial dysostosis", and has undergone 27 different surgeries in order to help him function. As a result, Auggie wears an astronaut helmet when he is out in public. For much of his life, Auggie has been homeschooled, but as he approaches fifth grade, his parents decide to enroll him in Beecher Prep, a private middle school with the kind Mr. Tushman as its principal. When school starts, Auggie is ostracized, but soon forms a close friendship with his classmate, Jack Will.
