It’s very hard to read this. Your eyes keep flooding with emotion all the time.

White Bird: A Wonder Story

Writer and Artist: R J Palacio

Cover Artist: R J Palacio

R. J. Palacio has decided to use her story Wonder as a starting point to tell all kinds of life experiences, beginning with her collection of stories Auggie & Me, where she first introduced us to Julian’s grandmother, Grandmère.

Palacio decided to turn this particular chapter into a powerful graphic novel, more poignant because Julian was the bully to Auggie in the first book: he kept calling him a freak for his appearance and leaving mean notes to him in his locker. When he is found out and is confronted by the director of the school, her mother is furious and decides to move him out of Beecher Prep.

Both in the movie Wonder and in the book Wonder this is bad news for Julien: he misses his friends and seems to be sorry for his behavior.
