A story the whole building can share.
Auggie Pullman goes to school for the first time in fifth grade, and the story is told by him, his sister and his classmates. It gives a whole building a shared language for kindness, and the picture book We're All Wonders brings the youngest grades into the same read.

Make the whole month feel like an event.
Ideas schools use to keep every family turning pages together. Mix and match; none of them needs a big budget.
The big reveal
Announce the title at an assembly, then send every child home with a wrapped copy and the reading calendar.
A chapter a night
A printed calendar sets the pace so every family is on the same page, literally, by the end of each week.
Morning trivia
One question about last night's chapter on the morning announcements; classes that answer earn a hallway star.
Guest readers
The principal, a coach, the bus driver or a local leader records a chapter for families to play at home.
Family night stations
A craft table, a trivia corner, a photo backdrop and a snack from the story. Families rotate, then share their favorite part.
Finish together
Read the last chapter as a school, then collect a giving project or a class mural inspired by the book.

How many copies of Wonder do we need?
One for every student, or one per family if siblings share, plus every teacher and staff member and a few extras for the library and classrooms. A school of 400 students with 40 staff and 10 extras orders 450 copies; the calculator on this page prices your exact count.
What does Wonder cost per copy for groups?
The Hardcover edition is $11.87 a copy at 300 copies, $11.51 at 500 and $11.51 at 700, from our live volume tiers. Larger volumes get a written quote that holds for 30 days. Free shipping on most orders over $95 in the contiguous US.
What grades is Wonder best for?
We suggest it for Grades 3–7 as an independent read, with younger students joining as a family read-aloud. R. J. Palacio published it in 2012.
When should we order for a spring read?
Order at least 10 business days before the books need to be in the building. For a Monday, March 1 kickoff with books in hand on Friday, February 26, order by Friday, February 12. Our specialists are happy to confirm timing for your exact order.
Is there a Spanish edition?
Yes. Wonder: La lección de August, the Spanish edition, can go on the same quote as the English edition. Tell us how many Spanish copies your families need.
Comparing titles?
Send us your enrollment. We'll quote a copy for every family.
Your student and staff counts, any Spanish copies and your kickoff date. You'll get a written quote, held for 30 days, that your PTA or principal can approve.
