Ungifted by Gordon Korman

Genre: fiction

Reading difficulty: easy/medium

Overview: This story is full of great characters and has a lot going on.  It is the story of Donovan, who gets himself into a lot of trouble when he accidentally destroys the school gym.  Instead of getting suspended, however,  he mistakenly ends gets sent to the gifted academy.  He thinks its a good place to lay low until the gym can be fixed...if he can make it without anyone suspecting he is UN-gifted!   What I liked about this story was how Donovan used his own strengths and ended up teaching a few things to the gifted kids.  I also liked how Donovan changed his own attitude at the end.   I also liked how the robotics competition turned out!   What did you think?
