Wonder Chapter 9 Summary

The Grand Tour

  • Charlotte, Julian, and Jack are quiet until they start talking about the classrooms they visit, bickering amiably amongst themselves about their differing opinions of various teachers.
  • Julian points out a chalkboard. The chalk. Chairs. An eraser.
  • Charlotte steps in, telling Julian that surely Auggie knows what an eraser is.
  • Auggie is so quiet the kids are not even sure if he can talk—so they ask him if he can.
  • He mumbles that he can, assures them he knows what an eraser is, but then lets on that he doesn't really understand what homeroom is.
  • Charlotte explains, but Julian smirks.
  • Jack Will wants to move the tour along, but Charlotte says they are supposed to be answering questions.
  • When Charlotte asks if Auggie has other questions, he asks Jack if his name is Jack or Jack Will. Here's the deal: Jack is the first name, Will is the last name.
  • Julian is snarky again. (A pattern seems to be emerging with this kid, right?)
  • Charlotte moves the tour on.
