Wonder Chapter 83 Summary

The Auggie Doll

  • The war in Auggie's class drags on. Julian leaves nasty notes in Jack and Auggie's lockers, which Summer thinks they should report to Mr. Tushman.
  • Instead the boys write fictional love notes to Julian from an imaginary (and totally gross) person by the name of Beulah.
  • They don't harass August, because if they did they would get busted, but some of the boys play mean tricks on Jack. Jack hangs tough.
  • By March kids in the class are getting sick of the war and beginning to see Julian's meanness for what it is. More and more kids drift into the neutral zone.
  • August notices that the Plague game has died out too, and no one cringes anymore if they bump into him. Why, even his pencils are now touchable. Movin' on up…
  • When August sees Maya writing a note to a friend on Uglydoll, he asks her if she knows that Uglydolls are based on him.
  • It takes her a second to realize that he's joking, but then she totally cracks up and tells all her friends. The next day he gets a little Uglydoll keychain with a note from Maya saying, "For the nicest Auggie Doll in the world!" (6.The Auggie Doll.14).
  • The icing on the cake is that people have been really nice about Auggie's new hearing aids too.
  • School is going remarkably well.
