Wonder Chapter 29 Summary

Costumes

  • Auggie loves Halloween—even more than Christmas.
  • He gets to wear a costume, a mask, which is the best because it means he doesn't get stared at.
  • He wishes every day could be Halloween so that everyone could get to know one another "before we got to see what we looked like under the masks" (1.Costumes.2).
  • Auggie used to wear an astronaut helmet everywhere, every day.
  • But the helmet got lost at some point, and he had to get used to not wearing it anymore.
  • Auggie can tell you every Halloween costume he has ever worn. His mom has made him a killer Boba Fett costume this year.
  • Kids in his homeroom class have all shared their costume plans—in a weird coincidence, Julian had planned to be Jango Fett.
  • On the morning of Halloween, Via is having a crying meltdown and Auggie's dad is stressing out because he can't be late. It's not pretty at the Pullman house.
  • At the last minute, Auggie grabs his bleeding Scream costume from last year because he can put it on by himself and so that his dad can get out the door more quickly.
