Shingaling is a companion to the beloved Wonder series, told from Charlotte's perspective as she navigates friendship and kindness at Beecher Prep. The story centers on how Charlotte and Summer become true friends and work together to solve a mystery, while exploring what it means to be genuinely kind rather than just polite. This is an age-appropriate, wholesome read that reinforces the series' core message about empathy and acceptance, with no concerning content.

Over 6 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller Wonder—the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement—and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face. Readers have also been given a special look at another side of Auggie's story with The Julian Chapter and a peek at his life before Beecher Prep in Pluto. In Shingaling, the third Wonder Story, they'll read about life as a fifth grader at Beecher Prep through the eyes of Charlotte, the girl who had been chosen to be Auggie's "welcome" buddy. Readers will not only learn more about Charlotte and her budding friendship with reader-favorite, Summer (they solve a mystery together), but how the girls at Beecher Prep react to Auggie attending their school for the first time, and how Charlotte came to write the precept she used at the end of Wonder, "It's not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend."
