My Cave
- Auggie's no dummy. As his mom and sister lie to him during dinner about how he wouldn't be interested in the school play, he reads between the lines: "You think I don't know what's going on?" he yells. "You just don't want your brand-new fancy high school friends to know your brother's a freak!" (6.My Cave.23). This is a super rough moment.
- Auggie storms off to his room and waits under a pile of stuffed animals for his mom to come in and talk to him—but for some reason, he finds himself waiting an unusually long time.
- When someone does come into his room, it isn't his mom. It's Via, and she comes rushing in.
