PLOT
AUGUST PULLMAN IS LIKE AN ORDINARY 10 YEAR OLD BOY. HE LOVES ICE CREAM, RIDES HIS BIKE, AND EVEN LOVES STAR WARS. HOWEVER, HE HAS SOMETHING CALLED CRANOFACIAL ANOMALY. HE HAS HAD 28 SURGERIES. HE HAS BEEN HOMESCHOOLED HIS WHOLE LIFE. BUT IN 5TH GRADE HE GOES TO SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND HE GOES THROUGH LOTS OF HARD THINGS.
BEGINNING
AUGUST GOES TO SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME AND STARTS TO HANG OUT WITH JACK AND BECOMES CLOSE.
MIDDLE
JACK SAYS SOMETHING UNKIND ABOUT AUGGIE THAT HE DID NOT MEAN BECAUSE OF POPULAR BOYS HE HANGS OUT WITH WHO BULLY AUGGIE. AUGGIE HEARS IT AND DOESN’T WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH JACK ANYMORE SO HE BECOMES FRIENDS WITH SUMMER. OTHER KIDS ARE ALSO MEAN AND MAKE UP SILLY GAMES LIKE “THE PLAGUE.”
ENDING
KIDS START BEING NICE TO AUGGIE AND HE BECOMES FRIENDS WITH JACK AGAIN AND MAKES NEW FRIENDS TOO!
This book was a mirror for me because I was homeschooled my whole life until I went to school in 5th grade like Auggie.
