Tushman, the principal of Beecher Prep (and the butt of many a weak joke), arranges a small welcome committee for August. And who can blame him? But when his mom tells him about the chicks (no, not the beautiful ten-year-old babes-the actual chickens that hatch in the science classroom incubator), he's kind of psyched.
At first Auggie dreads the idea of so many kids staring at him. They have realized that Auggie not only needs to learn more than his mom can teach him, but he also needs to learn to navigate a world that isn't always kind to those who are different.Īt Beecher Prep in Manhattan, fifth grade is the first year of middle school, so it's a good time for August to plunge into the mainstream.

August Pullman has been homeschooled due to some complicated health issues related to a dramatic cranio-facial abnormality and the rigorous surgery schedule that comes with it.
