Donovan is NOT a genius.
When he finds himself transferred into the Academy for Scholastic
Distinction he has to try and fake it.
This is a little hard for Donovan, as he understands nothing that the
kids or the teachers are talking about.
Somehow, though they have taken him into their fold and he’s become one
of them, which is good because Donovan is hiding out after he caused major
havoc on his old school’s gym, and if they like him, they might let him stay…somehow.
I enjoyed Donovan’s character, and even some of the other
students at ASD, but the other students seemed very flat. Chloe had a little more to her, but she was
still your basic stereotype of a type of a “nerd.” The shenanigans that Donovan brings to the
gifted students at his new school do cause them to loosen up quite a bit, and
they become more real. I just assumed
that they would be real before Donovan shows up to do this for them.
This is a humorous story, and if you enjoy middle school
pranks you’ll probably like Ungifted as well.
Donovan is extremely likeable. He’s
a kid that you’d want to hang out with after school as long as you can divert
his attention away from any troubling causing pranks, that is.
