Auggie was born with facial differences that, until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school. His supportive parents, mom Isabel (Julia Roberts) and dad Nate (Owen Wilson), decide to send Auggie to Beecher Prep, so he’ll learn to socialise with other kids and become more comfortable in the outside world.
Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters fifth grade, with an aptitude for science, a sly sense of humor, and an active imagination that helps him navigate uncomfortable situations.
Meanwhile, older sister Via (Izabela Vidovic), lets her brother be the centre of the family’s attention at the expense of her own needs.
While Auggie’s family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

... ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.
