This touching memoir is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the real-world experiences of a child with craniofacial differences and his extraordinary family. Its also more than that. Its a story about the love between a mother and a son, a child and his family, and the breadth of friends, helpers, and doctors that step in when the unexpected happens. Its a story that will make young readers reevaluate the word normalnot only as it applies to others, but to themselves. Any book that can do that is pretty wondrous, as far as Im concerned. R.J. Palacio, author of Wonder
In this uplifting and humorous memoir brimming with black-and-white comic illustrations, Nathaniel and his mother, Magda, tell the story of his growing up with the same craniofacial syndrome as the boy from Wonderfrom 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 Nathaniel and Magdas extraordinary family, and to families everywhere who quietly but courageously persist.
