Almost 2 million people have read the New York Times bestseller Wonder and fallen in love with Auggie Pullman. Last year listeners were given a special look at another side of his story with The Julian Chapter, and now they'll get a peek at Auggie's life before Beecher Prep, with a short story told entirely from the point of view of Christopher, Auggie's oldest friend. Christopher was Auggie's best friend from the time they were babies until his family moved away; he was there through all of Auggie's surgeries and heartbreaks, through bad times and good--like Star Wars marathons and dreams of traveling to Pluto together. Alternating between childhood flashbacks and the present day, an especially bad day for Christopher, Pluto is the story of two boys grown apart learning that good friendships are worth a little extra effort

Hier teilt er einige seiner Lieblingsmaximen mit uns. Denn Maximen fordern uns alle heraus, uns kreativ mit ihnen auseinanderzusetzen und weiterzudenken.

La storia di Wonder, bestseller di R.J. Palacio, viene riscritta dal punto di vista di Julian, il personaggio considerato "cattivo". Julian non comprende come sia cambiata la sua vita nell'ultimo anno scolastico: da ragazzo popolare si ritrova escluso e costretto a cambiare scuola, solo per aver fatto delle battute. La presenza di Auggie, un nuovo compagno con la sindrome di Treacher-Collins, lo turba profondamente, risvegliando paure infantili legate al suo terrore per gli zombi. Questo è il vero motivo del suo comportamento aggressivo. Dopo essere stato sospeso per aver preso di mira Auggie e Jack, Julian deve affrontare la reazione dei suoi genitori, che accusano la scuola di non aver gestito la situazione con la dovuta attenzione. Durante l'estate, una rivelazione sulla nonna francese lo colpisce: durante la guerra, lei fu salvata da un ragazzo deriso, il "Tartaruga", che si rivelò un amico straordinario. Questo ragazzo, che le diede il primo bacio prima di essere deportato, era proprio Julian. Per la prima volta, Julian prova rimorso e, grazie a un'email del professor Brownie, decide di scusarsi con Auggie. L'autrice dimostra una straordinaria capacità di immergere il lettore nella psicologia dei personaggi, creando situazioni in cui è facile riconoscersi e immedesimarsi.
