After adapting R.J. Palacio’s best-selling novel, Wonder, into a sleeper hit and box office phenomenon that grossed more than $305 million worldwide, Lionsgate is developing the author’s new graphic novel White Bird: A Wonder Story into a feature film.
With White Bird, Palacio writes a story of a young Jewish girl hidden away by a boy and his family in Nazi-occupied France during World War II.
The novel is an international publishing sensation for Alfred A Knopf, spending more than seven years on the New York Times bestseller list.
The novel is being released into bookstores today by publisher Alfred A. Knopf.
