![]() The farther the story of heroism goes, the more Noah is lauded as the Superkid, the worse things become. What if Noah tells the truth and Donovan's heroics are found out? Hashtag has told Donovan to stay away or the dog will be turned in as a menace. But, when Noah steps forward to say that it was him, Donovan's half jealous and half worried. Nobody knows who the "Superkid" that saved the lives of head cheerleader Megan Mercury and her family is. But, then something surprising happens and Donovan stops a freak accident from becoming a disastrous inferno. When Noah decides he must fight Hashtag, Donovan follows. She has bitten a child, in the past, and when Donovan moves to protect Noah from getting a beating from "Hashtag" Taggart, the dog takes a bite of his arm. And, he's tremendously clumsy, so signing up to be a cheerleader will certainly challenge him.ĭonovan's worried about Noah, but he's even more worried about his brother-in-law's dog. Not only does he want the opportunity to fail, but Noah likes a challenge. ![]() They do things Noah never would have imagined doing at the Academy. And, Donovan's school is definitely the right place for him to fail because it's normal. But, what Noah really wants more than anything, now that he's been kicked out of the Academy for Scholastic Distinction, is to fail. So, you never get that, "something's missing" sensation that you can get from series books that don't stand alone well, while reading Supergifted.ĭonovan's friend Noah is supergifted, with an extraordinarily high IQ. Korman nicely gives you just enough information to let you know what happened in Ungifted without totally giving away the plot. I missed reading Ungifted, but I've read Gordon Korman's writing, before (unfortunately, I didn't review Schooled, but I remember it well), and I had a feeling I wouldn't have any problem reading the second in a series by Korman. Ungifted was the story of Donovan Curtis, an average boy who was accidentally sent to the Academy for Scholastic Distinction, where he met his friend Noah Youkilis. I want to make a note of the fact that this is the second in a series but it stands fine on its own, up front, because I'd hate for anyone to miss out on the reading of Supergifted merely because they can't find a copy of the first book.
