Wonder Chapter 35 Summary

August Through the Peephole

  • Via gives us lots of detail about Auggie's face and some of the corrective surgeries he has had.
  • She wonders how August sees himself, about how much he does or does not understand about how the world sees him.
  • She wishes she could ask him, but at the same time a part of her is annoyed that he doesn't just open his mouth and tell his family what he thinks and how he feels. He's ten-years-old, after all, and she kind of resents that everyone still circles around his every mood or need, that he is still treated like a baby.
  • Via thinks it's time for August to grow up already.
