Wonder was first published in New York by Alfred A. Knopf on 14 February 2012 (ISBN 0-375-86902-6). The first UK edition is the Bodley Head children's hardback from Random House, London, which reached shops on 1 March 2012, ISBN 0-370-33228-8, in dust jacket. Random House UK used the same cover design as the American edition. A separate adult edition from Doubleday followed on 7 June 2012 with a different cover designed by Transworld's creative director; it is a later UK issue, not the first. No source we found gives first printing points, so check the printing line on the copyright page and prefer an unclipped jacket.
We have not yet confirmed the issue points that tell this first impression from later ones. Until we do, compare your copy's title page and copyright page with the publisher, place and year above: any later printing or edition statement means it is not this one.
