[aisle] build excitement for Wonder

[Patti Fleser]

There is a memoir for middle school - *Normal: One Kid's
Extraordinary Journey* by Magdalena and Nathaniel Newman.
https://www.amazon.com/Normal-One-Kids-Extraordinary-Journey/dp/1328631834

Perhaps you can grab them with reading the nonfiction book along side of
rereading Wonder.

 "Nathaniel and his mother, Magda, tell the story of his growing up with
the same craniofacial syndrome as the boy from Wonder—from facing
sixty-seven surgeries before the age of fifteen, to making friends, moving
across the country, and persevering through hardships. How they tackle
extraordinary circumstances with love and resilience is a true testament to
Nathaniel and Magda’s extraordinary family, and to families everywhere who
quietly but courageously persist."
