He was picked on because of the way of his face was.
When he was wearing a mask on Halloween he heard his friend say that if he look like him he would kill myself.
This made Auggie feel sad and like he had no real friends

Today (Tuesday 1 Jun 2021) I am writing about the floods. Heavy downfalls from Canterbury's code red storm saw floodwaters rise, cutting power, threatening lives and property in Christchurch and beyond.
A state of local emergency was declared for the whole region of Canterbury following heavy rain and flooding that began Sunday. Forecasters say the heavy downpours this end of May, 2021 could be a one in a hundred year event. The floods mostly hit in Ashburton. Hope you enjoyed my blog about floods. Did you have flooding near your house?
