Description
In this uplifting and humorous memoir that includes black-and-white comic illustrations, mother and son tell the story of his growing up - 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 Magda and Nathaniel's family, and to families everywhere who quietly but courageously persist.
Reviews / Votes
"In another moment of wonder for the Newmans, Magda and Nathaniel are now authors themselves, just finishing their new book titled aptly enough, NORMAL: One Kid's Extraordinary Journey." - 20/20, ABC-TV "[A] narrative that capably explores self-image, human dynamics, and the meaning of normality." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Despite being dubbed 'Auggie Pullman come to life,' Nathaniel abundantly shows that he's his own multifaceted person... Funny, compassionate, and thoughtful." -Kirkus "Nathaniel's story will inspire all children to celebrate their differences." -Booklist "[I]t's the honest-sometimes joyful, sometimes painful, and occasionally unflattering-memories that prove most compelling." -Publishers Weekly "Nathaniel and his mother have written a powerful and honest memoir together....a compelling story, but when coupled with additional information about the much-beloved book Wonder (and the movie), this title is sure to fly off the shelves." -School Library Journal -More details
