Last year readers were given a special look at another side of his story with The Julian Chapter, and now they'll get a peek at Auggie's life before Beecher Prep, with an exclusive new short story told entirely from the point of view of Christopher, Auggie's oldest friend. Christopher was Auggie's best friend from the time they were babies until his family moved away; he was there through all of Auggie's surgeries and heartbreaks, through bad times and good—like Star Wars marathons and dreams of traveling to Pluto together.

În primul ei roman grafic, R.J. Palacio spune o poveste de neuitat despre bunătatea fără margini și curajul nemaipomenit al unor oameni în vreme de război. Sara Blum credea că e o tânără ca oricare alta: îi plăcea să deseneze, să iasă cu prietenele în oraș și să viseze cu ochii deschiși. Doar că în Franța ocupată de naziști, în timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, a fi evreu nu însemna să fii la fel ca oricare alt cetățean. Când încep raziile naziștilor în oraș și Sara devine o țintă, Julien, colegul ei de bancă, îi sare în ajutor și o ascunde în hambarul familiei. Iar acum, peste ani și ani, Sara îi povestește nepotului ei, Julian, trauma pe care a trăit-o, în speranța că un om care cunoaște trecutul nu are cum să rămână indiferent la nedreptățile din prezent.
