Over 15 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller Wonder— now, the wonder returns with a companion book of life lessons and inspiration from Auggie’s favorite teacher—perfect for back to school! Based on the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement and a major motion picture, readers will fall in love all over again with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.


In Wonder, readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr. Browne and his love of precepts. This companion book features conversations between Mr. Browne and Auggie, Julian, Summer, Jack Will, and others, giving readers a special peek at their lives after Wonder ends. Mr. Browne’s essays and correspondence are rounded out by a precept for each day of the year—drawn from popular songs to children’s books to inscriptions on Egyptian tombstones to fortune cookies. His selections celebrate the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills.

There’s something for everyone here, with words of wisdom from such noteworthy people as Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., Confucius, Goethe, Sappho—and over 100 readers of Wonder who sent R. J. Palacio their own precepts.

David C. ★★★★★

Every morning I flip to a new page and read one precept with my coffee—it's become a small ritual that actually sticks with me through the day. The fact that it's a companion to Wonder means the wisdom feels familiar and warm, not preachy.

Riley P. ★★★★★

I grabbed this as a gift but ended up reading half of it myself before wrapping it. The daily precepts are short enough to read one with my morning coffee, and it's surprising how many of them stick with you through the day.

Zoe D. ★★★★★

I bought this as a gift for my niece who just finished Wonder, and flipping through it myself I've already dog-eared a dozen pages. It's basically a year's worth of little daily nudges to be kinder, and the layout makes it easy to read one before bed without feeling like homework.
