CHAPTER 1
The Wunderkind Family Secret
My name is Josh Wunderkind. I’m ten years old and up until a few days ago, nothing in my life had been super. But that all changed after a glob of neon green bird poop landed right smack on my face, splattering into my mouth, nose, and eyes.
It was so gross!
But it was so worth it!
Now I was just like my siblings and every other Wunderkind that had ever existed—super extraordinary!
And it happened just the way Grandpa Wunderkind said.
A couple of months ago, Grandpa Wunderkind shared a family secret with my older brother Jake, my twin sister Madison, and me about how every Wunderkind that had ever lived had been born with an extraordinary ability. He said that he was born with the ability to read a cows thoughts.

I hadn’t a clue what he was talking about. So later that day, I asked Jake what Grandpa Wunderkind meant.
Jake’s the genius in the family. He knows things about things that I could care less knowing about, like how many teeth a shark has. It’s something like 35,000. I figured he’d know what Grandpa Wunderkind was talking about.
“Josh, it’s simple,” said Jake. “Your Wunderkind superhuman power must be in sleep mode. All we need to do is kick you a few times to wake it up.”
My eyes bugged out of my head as I saw Jake winding up to kick me.
“Wait!” I screamed, raising my hands in the air.
“Josh, do you want me to help you, СКАЧАТЬ
