Answer:
Chapter 82: North Pole
Part Six of Wonder returns to August’s perspective. He and Jack do a great job on their potato lamp, and they get an A on it. Jack is elated because he never gets As in science. August is happy too.
Explanation:
However, August is not thrilled with the arrangement of the science fair. He and all the other kids have to stand by their tables and explain their projects to everyone’s parents. There are sixty kids in fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and they bring sixty sets of parents. Some bring grandparents too. Those adults are not used to August the way the kids are by now, so their eyes keep getting drawn to him.
August hates school events for exactly this reason. He says that when people stare at him under normal circumstances, it is like stepping outside into a light rain. But when a whole crowd stares, he feels as if he is stuck in a “total hurricane.”
But August has done a few school events now, and he is starting to get good at managing the hurricane sensation. Today he watches the parents almost as much as they watch him. His parents spend most of their time with Summer’s and Jack’s parents. Julian’s parents walk around with Henry’s and Miles’s. He thinks it is funny that adults tend to befriend the parents of their kids’ friends.
