Gordon Korman has done it again! I'm so thankful a student recommended this one - I couldn't put it down.
Donovan is an irrepressible middle schooler who only wants to have fun, but one time it becomes much more serious. He destroys the school gym, the statue, and worst it all, the superintendent sees him do it. Then fate steps in and he escapes punishment when his name disappears off the superintendent's desk and he is mistakenly sent to a school for the gifted.
Donovan clearly isn't gifted - at least not in the ways the other students are. But what follows reveals that not all gifts are intellectual after all.
A fun and touching read!
