Wonder, By R.J. Palacio

The Beaver Dam Unified School District is excited to accept a donation of 45 copies of the New York Times bestselling book “Wonder,” by R.J. Palacio, from the Nathan and Tiffany Wilke family. Wonder is a heartfelt story about a young boy who has a congenital facial abnormality. After being homeschooled, he enters school for the first time in fifth grade and has to cope with a range of reactions to his appearance. Wonder is an uplifting, inspiring story that readers of all ages will enjoy and learn from. The copies of Wonder will be housed in the libraries of each school in the Beaver Dam School District and will be used throughout the district in book clubs, classroom read alouds and literature circles. On behalf of the Beaver Dam Unified School District, Superintendent Steve Vessey would like to thank the Wilke Family - Nathan, Tiffany, Eli, Manny and Abe - for this very generous donation.
