Ungifted by Gordon Korman is the story of Donovan Curtis. An eighth grade impulsive ne'er do well who in the process of avoiding trouble at his middle school finds himself inadvertently in a school for gifted children. While it's quickly apparent that he doesn't belong academically, he does bring a gift of sorts to his classmates.
This book is funny, the characters are likeable and believable. I really loved seeing the way Donovan's character developed throughout the book. He was neither all good nor all bad. This is now my favorite Gordon Korman book.
This is one of the 2013-2014 Black-Eyed Susan nominees.
