Auggie was born with a rare medical facial deformity, mandibulofacial dysostosis. He has undergone 27 surgeries to help him function and wears an astronaut helmet when out in public. Auggie has been homeschooled by Isabel, but as he approaches the fifth grade, Isabel and Nate decide to enroll Auggie at Beecher Prep, a private middle school.
