Wonder, the New York Times bestselling book, is now coming to big screen in a film adaptation of the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters a fifth grade classroom as his first time in a mainstream school. With the anti-bullying and “choose kind” messages, this film looks like a must-see for all older-elementary and middle grades.
The film officially hits theatres on Nov. 17, but we have the hook-up on an exclusive screening event on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. We’d love to bring 20 of you along to join us!
