Su cara lo hace distinto y él solo quiere ser uno más. Camina siempre mirando al suelo, la cabeza gacha y el flequillo tratando en vano de esconder su rostro, pero, aun así, es objeto de miradas furtivas, susurros ahogados y codazos de asombro. August sale poco, su vida transcurre entre las acogedoras paredes de su casa, entre la compañía de su familia, su perra Daisy y las increíbles historias de La guerra de las Galaxias.Este año todo va a cambiar, porque este año va a ir, por primera vez, a la escuela. Allí aprenderá la lección más importante de su vida, la que no se enseña en las aulas ni en los libros de texto: crecer en la adversidad, aceptarse tal y como es, sonreír a los días grises y saber que, al final, siempre encontrará una mano amiga.Desde que salió el 14 de febrero de 2012, La lección de August se ha situado en los puestos de las novelas más vendidas en la lista del New York Times y ha encontrado en la red la mejor manera de promocionarse.
