Wonder Chapter 12 Summary

Home

  • Like every mom in the entire world, Auggie's mom can barely wait to start grilling him about how he feels like the visit went.
  • He stalls her.
  • Once home, Auggie seeks the refuge of his room and the comfort of slobbery kisses from his beloved dog, Daisy.
  • Now safe, he shares the details with his mom about the tour with Charlotte, Julian, and Jack.
  • Mom pegs Julian right off as the kind of kid who behaves differently with adults than he does with other kids, but she is still deeply shocked when she hears that Julian asked Auggie if he had been in a fire.
  • Auggie mentions how the other kids stood up for him.
  • His mom seems super-upset-but-trying-not-to-show-it; she even gives him the chance to opt out.
  • But Auggie has made up his mind: he wants to go to school.
