In Auggie & Me: Three Wonder Stories,
the author R.J. Palacio is very clear; “… this is not a squeal to Wonder."
In saying that however, this book offers three fascinating parallel narratives
occurring at the same moment in time as Auggie's journey in Wonder.
Here we discover the stories of Julian (yes, the jerk), Charlotte (Auggie's "welcome buddy") and Christopher (Auggie's oldest friend) and see how their experiences with Auggie, past and present, affect their own journeys, both through middle school and beyond. It’s all in the perspective. To witness an event from a different point-of-view and to understand where a character is coming from can be quite the revelation!

A must if
you've read Wonder, but still an enjoyable
book if you haven't.
