\u201cI know I\u2019m not an ordinary 10-year-old kid,\u201d says Auggie (Jacob Tremblay), the lead character of \u201cWonder,\u201d as we see him standing on his bed wearing an astronaut\u2019s helmet. When the helmet is removed, we know how he knows what he knows: His young face is scarred, his earlobes are little flaps and his eyes are seemingly tear-shaped, giving him a perpetual sad-puppy expression.<\/p>\n

The good-natured fellow describes his facial birth defects, and the 27 operations he\u2019s endured to deal with them, as \u201chilarious.\u201d But Auggie is less amused by the prospect of entering the fifth grade, and no longer being home-schooled by his brilliant and loving mother, Isabel Pullman (Julia Roberts).<\/p>\n
