He has to go to a different school, and the kids there are mean and rude. August is more scared than ever

1. Introduction

I'm August Pullman. I'm an ordinary 11 year old boy. I play Xbox, read comic books, and play outside. I like Star Wars, and I have friends. I eat ice cream and take my dog for walks. I argue with my sister, like all siblings do.

But if you didn't know me, and you saw my face, you wouldn't say that I'm normal.

I'm kinda a medical wonder. I was born with mandibulofacial dysostises and a cleft palate. When I was born, the doctors didn't think I'd live.

I had been homeschooled until I was 10 and I went to middle school. I went to Beecher Prep, and at first, I got bullied a lot. But I made a ton of friends. Nobody really cares about my face anymore. For the first time in my life, I have a large group of friends, people really don't care at all that my face is messed up. I finally feel normal.
