What is the setting of the book Wonder with vivid descriptions? Also, how does August Pullman look and behave in the book Wonder?

Answer 1

What an incredible story to read.

The setting for the book Wonder is as follows. August "Auggie" Pullman is a home-schooled fifth-grader living in North River Heights in Upper Manhattan with his parents. He has a medical condition, often equated with Treacher Collins Syndrome which has left his face disfigured. Due to his condition, August has been home-schooled by his mother; however, wanting him to experience a larger world, his parents enroll him into Beecher Prep, a private middle school, for the start of fifth grade. August has a sister, Olivia "Via" Pullman, who is older than he is and often puts her brother's needs before her own.

Auggie has had twenty-seven surgeries—some big, some small—and he has some medical mysteries that doctors still haven’t figured out. All of this comes from a specific gene. His parents and his sister, Via, each carry the gene, too, but only Auggie shows it. His behavior is that of a young student that is being teased by his appearance, he is generally shy and evasive and very self conscious about his appearance.

I hope this answers your question. Have a wonderful rest of your day.
