Bøger af R. J. Palacio

Bogen bag filmen WONDER, der kommer i biograferne efterår/vinter 2017, med Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson og Jacob Tremblay på rollelisten.WONDER er en historie om venskab og venlighed, om at være anderledes og om at gøre det rigtige. Det er den livsbekræftende - og rørende - fortælling om drengen August, der er født med en genetisk sygdom, der har deformeret hans ansigt så meget, at det vækker opsigt. Han har levet en beskyttet tilværelse, og det er først da han er 10 år, at han kommer i en almindelig skole og starter i 5. klasse. Det bliver en tid præget af usikkerhed og mobning - men også af nye venskaber ...»Palacio debuterer med en veldrejet page-turner befolket af personer, man ikke kan undgå at forelske sig i.« Entertainment Weekly»Dybtfølt og uforglemmelig. WONDERs hjerte er Auggie og de andre 5.-klassesbørn og teenagere, hvis stemmer Palacio alle gengiver med perfektion.« The New York Times Book Review»Det er den usædvanlige generøsitet, der gør WONDER så usædvanlig, så let at elske. Resultatet er en smuk, morsom og til tider sørgelig fortælling om hverdagens små forvandlinger.« The Wall Street Journal»Det er de store temaer, som gør Palacio usædvanlig. Bogen søger ind i kernen af temaer såsom venskab, vedholdenhed, frygt og ikke mindst kunsten at udvise venlighed.« The Huffington Post
