Wonder Chapter 48 Summary

Weird Kids

  • New narrator. Yes—again. This time we're hanging out with Summer… but you probably guessed that already because you are super smart and you noticed that Part 3 is named after her.
  • Summer is awesome because she doesn't have a single hang-up about just being nice.
  • Kids ask her why she hangs out with "the freak," and she tells them, "Because he's a nice kid! … and don't call him that" (3.Weird Kids.2).
  • Kids want to know if Mr. Tushman asked her to be his friend. The answer, of course, is no.
  • Summer simply explains that she sat with Auggie that first day because she felt sorry for him—she saw a new kid in a tough spot, and couldn't leave him hanging. End of story.
  • She admits that he's "the weirdest-looking kid she has ever seen," but what she sees first is that he's just a kid.
  • Summer—we think you're a pretty great kid.
