  Pluto: A Wonder Story (Unabridged)

  R J Palacio Almost two million people have read the New York Times best seller Wonder and fallen in love with Auggie Pullman. Last year listeners were given a special look at another side of his story with The Julian Chapter, and now they'll get a peek at Auggie's life before Beecher Prep with an exclusive new short story told entirely from the point of view of Christopher, Auggie's oldest friend.
  
  Christopher was Auggie's best friend from the time they were babies until his family moved away; he was there through all of Auggie's surgeries and heartbreaks, through bad times and good--like Star Wars marathons and dreams of traveling to Pluto together. Alternating between childhood flashbacks and the present day, an especially bad day for Christopher, Pluto is the story of two boys grown apart learning that good friendships are worth a little extra effort.

  La lección de August: Wonder [August's Lesson: Wonder] (Unabridged)

  R J Palacio Su cara lo hace distinto y él solo quiere ser uno más. Camina siempre mirando al suelo, la cabeza gacha, y con el flequillo tratando en vano de esconder su rostro, pero, aun así, es objeto de miradas furtivas, susurros ahogados y codazos de asombro. August sale poco. Su vida transcurre entre las acogedoras paredes de su casa, entre la compañía de su familia, su perra Daisy, y las increíbles historias de La guerra de las galaxias. Este año todo va a cambiar, porque este año va a ir, por primera vez, a la escuela. Allí aprenderá la lección más importante de su vida, la que no se enseña en las aulas ni en los libros de texto: crecer en la adversidad, aceptarse tal como es, sonreír a los días grises, y saber que, al final, siempre encontrará una mano amiga.

  Nach seinem Umzug vermisst er Auggie, ist insgeheim aber auch froh, Abstand zu haben.
  
  Charlotte, die empathische Willkommensfreundin:
  Weil sie sich für Gerechtigkeit und Mitgefühl einsetzt, soll sie sich um Auggie kümmern - und beginnt zum ersten Mal an sich zu zweifeln. Die Begegnung mit Auggie verändert jeden. Jeder muss lernen, sich mit seinen innersten Ängsten und Hoffnungen auseinanderzusetzen, und daran wachsen. Bewegende neue Einblicke - mehrstimmig gelesen von Sebastian Rudolph, Gesa Geue und Julian Greis.
