AUGGIE & ME Three Wonder Stories

A different narrator performs each of three companion stories to Palacio's beloved book, WONDER. Mike Chamberlain gives the most affecting performance in the first story, lending depth and authenticity to Julian, a kid who turns out to be more than a bully. Narrator Scott Merriman becomes Christopher, a boy who is coping with anger in the wake of a move and his parents' separation. In the last story, Taylor Ann Krahn performs as Charlotte, who is trying navigate the new social complexities of middle school. Each story stands alone, even without the background of the earlier book, but the stories enrich each other, showing different perspectives of the same people and events. Funny, moving, and true to middle school, this production is worth repeat listening. A.F. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2017]
