Verse:
There’s so many things
That I can do
An adrenaline junkie
A YouTube guru
I push all the buttons
Smash out on the field
Ain’t a video game that I can’t kill
Hook:
I took a risk, put in the time
Laced up my shoes
Can’t stop my shine x2
Lucky Me

About the Book
Wonder
By R.J. Palacio
I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
