Three novellas previously published as ebooks are collected in this companion to Wonder, giving readers insight into lives running parallel to Auggie's. Emphasizing the theme of kindness, each story explores the evolution of friendships and selfhood in a year fraught with change. Earnestly depicted emotions gently drive the plot, as Palacio treats each narrator's fears and joys with a respect her audience will appreciate.
