The Walk Home
- Auggie and his whole extended family and all his friends walk back to the Pullman's for cake and ice cream.
- The kids are happy and laughing, and Auggie is still floating.
- Auggie hangs back a bit to walk with his mom, who is walking alone, smiling her own private thoughts.
- He hugs his mom as she walks, and thanks her for sending him to school
- She hugs him back and kisses the top of his head, thanking him for being the awesome kid he is.
- "She bent down and whispered in my ear. 'You really are a wonder, Auggie. You are a wonder'" (8.The Walk Home.12).
- And that's the end of our wonderful story.
