'White Bird' works as both 'Wonder' sequel and inspiring coming-of-age story
In “Wonder,” a boy named Julian, played by Bryce Gheisar, relentlessly bullies 10-year-old Augie (Tremblay), who has a rare facial deformity, and is eventually suspended. Julian’s horrendous mother says he won’t return to this school. By this time, Julian has come to realize the impact of his actions, and he’s beginning to feel true remorse.
