40 free Auggie & Me trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Auggie & Me is R. J. Palacio's companion to Wonder: three stories that revisit Auggie Pullman's world through people who stood at its edges. Auggie himself stays mostly offstage, and that is the appeal. The bully gets to explain himself, the oldest friend admits how hard loyalty can be, and the girl who was nice from a distance learns what kindness costs. This quiz takes in all three. The Julian Chapter questions follow Julian from Beecher Prep to his grandmother's wartime story. The Pluto questions track Christopher through one very bad day and his memories of growing up beside Auggie. The Shingaling questions follow Charlotte through dance rehearsals, shifting lunch tables and a neighborhood mystery. A few more deal with the author and how the collection came to be. It is written for students who have just finished reading, for teachers and reading groups checking comprehension, and for Wonder fans who want to see how much of the companion stories stuck.
