About the Novel: Wonder is the heart-warming tale of a young boy's struggle and acceptance through middle school. August Pullman is not like every other kid. He was born with a rare facial deformity. Because of this and his constant trips to the hospital, Auggie was always homeschooled. That's about to change as he enters middle school for the first time. Things start off rocky as the other kids stare at him, avoid touching him, and even bully him. But Auggie perseveres and manages to make some friends. What's more, he actually really enjoys going to school. Slowly, Auggie manages to tear down the walls at his school and becomes just one of the kids. By the end, he has not only survived middle school, but overcome it. Wonder is a story of one boy's identity and showing how normal he truly is.

The Role of the Romanian Film in Correcting Juvenile Delinquency during the Socialist Regime
Feature-length fiction movies were an important instrument of propaganda during Romania’s communist regime. As cinema was financed exclusively and controlled by the state between 1948 and 1989, motion pictures were used to convey socialist policies—of course, packaged as fictional drama—to make ideological or regulatory information more easily accepted by society. One of the messages intended to be conveyed in this way was that although the state was looking after the welfare of all citizens, especially the young, families often undermined this effort by neglecting their children, who would end up becoming delinquents. If, on one hand, rules and laws were effective means to control individuals’ actions, on the other hand, motion pictures proved to be a powerful tool to shape consciousness and to induce certain beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours. Films dealing with certain cases of juvenile delinquency, or which brought before the public the stories of crimes, large or small, are also part of this line of prevention and the construction of civic behaviour. In this paper, to explore how the anti-crime message was constructed and what ideas were conveyed, I have set out to analyse three such film productions, from different periods of the communist regime, each of them featuring as a main character a young person who had slipped into deviant behaviour.
