      Wonder August (Auggie) Pullman, born with a facial deformity, is about to start fifth grade at Beecher Prep, facing the challenges of being the new kid. Despite his extraordinary appearance, Auggie is just an ordinary boy who hopes to show his classmates that he is like them. The Julian Chapter offers insight into the perspective of Julian, the story's controversial bully. It explores Julian's unkindness towards Auggie and whether he can find redemption. Pluto takes readers back to Auggie's life before entering Beecher Prep, focusing on his friendship with Christopher, who was there for Auggie's early memories. As they navigate their evolving relationship, they learn that true friendship requires effort. Shingaling provides a glimpse into fifth-grade life at Beecher Prep from Charlotte's viewpoint, the girl assigned to be Auggie’s “welcome buddy.” It delves into Charlotte's friendship with Summer, the girls' reactions to Auggie's presence, and how Charlotte came to write the impactful precept: “It’s not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend.” These interconnected stories highlight themes of friendship, acceptance, and the importance of kindness.

      ¿Qué motivos tiene Julian para odiar a August? ¿Será capaz de asumir sus errores y empezar de nuevo? August nos recuerda la importancia de ser amable, un niño que quiere ser normal a pesar de su aspecto, pero esta no es su historia. Esta es la historia de Julian, el niño que peor se porta con él. No soporta verlo, no soporta que sea amigo de Jack, no soporta que esté en su colegio... y no es capaz de darse cuenta del impacto que sus actos pueden tener en los demás.

      Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world. Only one boy can stop it—12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak’s father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit’s help to overcome it. Torak is an unwilling hero. He is scared and trusts no one. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human. Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.
