We will be discussing "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. Copies of this month's book can be picked up from the West Indianapolis Branch. Adults are invited to this free monthly book discussion program. We (usually) meet on the second Monday of the month.
Wonder by R.J. Palacio is available as a print book, a downloadable audiobook, an audiobook CD, a preloaded audiobook, and in Large Print in the Library's collection.
"Ten-year-old Auggie Pullman, who was born with extreme facial abnormalities and was not expected to survive, goes from being home-schooled to entering fifth grade at a private middle school in Manhattan, which entails enduring the taunting and fear of his classmates as he struggles to be seen as just another student."
The first West Indianapolis Branch opened in 1897, following the annexation of West Indianapolis into the city of Indianapolis. A new building on West Morris Street, constructed with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, opened in 1912 and served the community until 1986, when the current 5,000-square-foot branch began service on South Kappes Street.
