In Wonder by R.J Palacio there is a boy named August who has a genetic facial disorder and he was homeschooled until 5th grade when he goes to school for the first time. I think the theme is that it's not what you look like but it's what's on the inside
Throughout the story August makes lots of friends that would help him no matter what. For example one of August's friends named Amos fights for him when some bully's are attacking him and his friend Jack. It shows he grew socially and made friends for life.
Also in the story August has a war with a bully named Julian who is a jerk to August. Julian would leave mean notes in August's locker and make fun of him, but he had lots of friends to help him and they won the war. It shows that August has become stronger and now has lots of bravery and doesn't care what people think of his face.
By the end of the story August doesn't care about his face. He laughs at jokes about it and laughs when a kid says "Woah!" when he walks by. It shows how much August has grown.
August knows that it not what's on the outside its what's on the inside. This is like real life because there are kids that have things like this in real life and people judge them because of it. At the end of the story Auggie gets a kindness award "So will August Pullman please come up and get the award"
