Ungifted / Gordon Korman / 280 pages

Donovan Curtis is "the only mental turkey in a school for soaring eagles."  He was transferred to the Academy of Scholastic Distinction through a mistake made by the superintendent.  Investigating a prank at the middle school resulting in massive damage, he recorded Donovan's name as a person of interest.  Fortunately or unfortunately, he wrote it on the list of kids to attend the Academy of Scholastic Distinction.  Donovan's exploits, his skill in robotics, his sister's complicity in the Human Growth and Development  class, and the reactions and adjustments of Donovan's classmates make this one fantastic audio book performed with a full cast of voices.
