Unless you write about a certain boy wizard or you’re the Bible, it’s a nearly impossible feat to sell that many books these days. “Wonder” has remained a bestseller for the past seven years, while selling more than 16 million copies and becoming a certified cultural phenomenon. “It was because my book had hit the bestseller list, and when it fell off the next week, at least I could say I’d been a bestselling author for one week.
