Shingaling R J Palacio

Over 2 million people have read the "New York Times" bestseller "Wonder" and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face. Listeners have also been given a special look at another side of Auggie's story with "The Julian Chapter" and a peek at his life before Beecher Prep in "Pluto." In "Shingaling," the third "Wonder" Story, they'll listen about life as a fifth grader at Beecher Prep through the eyes of Charlotte, the girl who had been chosen to be Auggie's "welcome" buddy. Listeners will not only learn more about Charlotte and her budding friendship with fan-favorite, Summer (they solve a mystery together), but how the girls at Beecher Prep react to Auggie attending their school for the first time, and how Charlotte came to write the precept she used at the end of "Wonder," "It's not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend."
