She comes into the book on page 51 chapter 19. She comes into the story by sitting next to Auggie during lunch. The reason why I choose summer was because, when auggie felt all alone she pushed him up. She was the first main character at his new school to believe in him. She didn’t judge him by his face she got to know Auggie first.

It was the last time I walked out of the old, nostalgic building that I had called my school for most of my life; each step took me farther from the familiar, constant life I once had. I clearly recall that emotional day that caused several of my classmates along with myself great trouble; it was likely one the most momentous moments of my life. The other students had lightheartedly poured out of the school building to jump start their summer, their unavoidable return in the following months…

It’s my first morning of high school at a new school. New hallways, new people, new teachers, and new clothes.
