You can't blend in when you were supposed to stand out.

The world is a wonder. It is a Beyblade hooping the Sun revered by other planets. Earth's natural skyscrapers scrape away the invisible boundaries of the blameless blue skies sneering at the Flat Earth theory. Earth is a fine instance of a less than fine society. What makes it less than fine? What breaks the nation's hearts? What is enough to make the most esteemed critics set the waterworks? Turn the lights to Wonder.

Wonder chronicles the roller coaster school year of August Pullman. Pullman owns an XBox, enjoys ice-cream, and reads everything about space. Ordinary kids play with other ordinary kids, making them run away is August-style. More than 20 scars are an X-ray in the hallways. Auggie curls up in a ball when around his family. Time stops when a set of double metal doors obstruct his family. No-one backs him up, that is until Jack Will glides into the picture. Chocolate bubbles are now a part of daily school life and tables may turn after all. Perhaps. Will the tides change or was coming to school a substandard choice to start with?

The beating heart of Wonder starts with family. Auggie is at the centre of the universe, while his two loving parents and his sister, Via, are orbiting planets. Via insists Auggie is extraordinary. Contradictory, her only lover is her grandmother who is watching from above. Darth Daisy sits in the corner, and one hopes the family has house insurance, as the house is held up with saliva.

The vein of Wonder is friendship. Summer, and Jack are two best friends of Auggie. Albeit, friendship is imperfect as Auggie and Jack's circle breaks due to a careless chatter between Jack and a nemesis, Julian. Via, meanwhile, encounters a soul mate, Justin, after her old friend became jealous of her and moved out.

The infestation of the heart is discrimination. Students are replaced with surveillance cameras fixed on Auggie. Unfortunately, one has to call upon school surroundings where recess is jeer time, handball courts occupied by one, and students' heads drooping, idle arms, as Julian shapeshifters invade the school. This is war. Will bullying always be a reality?

Ruffling shining pages of Wonder provides a lens to an inky darkness: discrimination, the true enemy of Pullman. The most plausible path to strengthening the great wall from such is by establishing a web of trust, mutual respect, and communication. Raising the megaphone and pointing to discrimination is an appropriate action. Kind words are affordable yet they accomplish much. Offering help to victims of discrimination takes one on a trip down book lane, securing that a lamb to the slaughter is impossible further days. This includes Summer's hand to a comeback from unexpected allies. The only future path is achieved by a discrimination-free land.

Wonder sheds light on a new perspective of the world moving hearts and changing minds. How August Pullman overcame discrimination is inspirational. The world is a marvel, or a wonder. August here is the Sun, and the population of Earth celestial bodies. However, a shift in the cosmos is required, planets falling out of alignment due to an asteroid of discrimination. “Everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life because we all overcometh the world.”
