    Wonder is a 15 year old experiencing the pressures her teenage years have brought her. One day she is a normal 15 year old working at Dairy Queen, the next she is a teen singing sensation. It wasn't even her dream she was just fulfilling her late sister Lucky's expectations. Her emotions caused her to chose the celebrity lifestyle and become a popstar. She learns about what celebrities go through and while living the lifestyle, Wonder realizes that all she ever wanted is right in front of her nose, back in her hometown with her friends. She only wants to be a normal teenager and face the daily challenges life endures.
    I believe the book is a wonderful read. Anyone like me who is interested in music and hitting it big would love this book. The quality of the book, on a scale of 1-10, would definitely be a 10. It was so rich and full of surprises. Wonder was a very well created character. Her personality was wholesome and down to earth. Kayla is who Wonder opens up for on tour. She is smart and also a very wholesome, nice person. She treats Wonder like her little sister. I would recommend this book to junior high and high school girls because the book is very much angled toward young women readers. Overall the book was very good. I will most likely read it again
