Auggie, a boy with mandibulofacial dysostosis, lives a hard life. Most people don't understand these words and also what Treacher Collins syndrome and a cleft palate means. However, what they see is what they hate to see: Auggie's face.
It's proportions are worse than Voldemort, and August knows that. When he finally goes to school for fifth grade, it's a little bit happy, fun, and hard. He meets new friends, new enemies, and some people who go "Whuuuu...." when they see him.
With the help of others, Auggie learns to get through school without being bothered by bullies. It's a wonderful story of kindness.
- Bruce, 7th grade, Cambridge Street Upper School
