Over the past week, I read a book called Ungifted, by Gordon Kormon. It is about a boy, Donovan Curtis, who is a real troublemaker, but when he breaks a statue that belongs to a school, he gets in trouble with the superintendent, who writes Donovan's name down. What he didn't know was that he wrote it down on the list of people that were going to the gifted school. When Donovan first goes to the school, he feels like an outsider, and he is. He  is an outsider because he is the only one there that doesn't have an IQ of 170+. Over his time there, he made many friends though, and was the head driver for their class robot, Tin Man.

      What I like about this book is the way that Kormon relates to everyday middle school kids. Every person in this book has their own personal problems, just like people do in real life. Also, Kormon adds a lot of humor in this book by making the super smart kids in the school, completely and absolutely unsocial. Overall, this is a great book and is perfect for anyone that can read.
