Wonder Chapter 32 Summary

A Tour of the Galaxy

  • Guess what? We have a new narrator. And guess who it is? Auggie's big sister Via… which is probably why Part 2 is called "Via."
  • Via uses the galaxy as a metaphor for her family, with August as the sun and everyone else orbiting around him. She is used to her universe being this way, with August's needs, by default, making all of her needs a distant second priority.
  • She doesn't mind; she understands; it is all she has ever known.
  • She wants us to know she isn't being noble: August has suffered. A lot.
  • But then she tells us: "The galaxy is changing. Planets are falling out of alignment" (2.A Tour of the Galaxy.5).
  • Stay tuned.
