During his short life, he has already undergone 27 operations and only recently learned to breathe on his own. The child's face is more like a wax mask, and it is difficult for him to express emotions. He has a real test ahead - he goes to school. Previously, his mother was engaged in his education. And he was spared the increased attention of strangers. The father is categorically against such a decision - he believes that they simply give their son to be torn to pieces. Children are cruel and do not always feel when to stop.
In a new place, he will have to go through all the tests again, so on the first day he refuses to remove the astronaut's helmet from his head. He already knows what the reaction is for those who see him for the first time - children with horror run away from the playground when he appears. But he was never at school and he is interested to know what his peers are doing in the classroom. The director welcomes the new student cordially, but the first three classmates who were entrusted with showing him the school could not hide their perplexity. Everything went not so bad, but these are just three guys, and in front of him is an acquaintance with several dozen.
Only after the persuasion of his father, he still goes to school without the helmet of an astronaut. Of course, the appearance of a boy with a disfigured face immediately causes a stir among the students. The first days of study are given by Auggie with great difficulty. Children do not perceive the new comrade, and some do not miss the opportunity to play a joke or offend. Disruptions happen at home at the boy, and only the wise words of his mother give him hope. Soon, classmates realize that the new one is actually very smart and knows much more than all his peers. In addition, he has a light character and a great sense of humor.
Self-irony and the ability to take the blows of fate with dignity help Auggie make new friends. Now he does not hide his face from his students and proudly looks down on the offenders. Even girls want to make friends with him, and from a strange guy with scars on his face, he becomes the star of the school. Now he believes his mother when she tells him that external beauty does not matter to true friends.
