Another good book from Gordon Korman that will engage boys as well as girls. It is about slacker Donovan-average guy- who whacks a statue of Atlas in the butt and starts the series of action literally "rolling". He ends up in a gifted school where he clearly doesn't belong.
Korman characterizes various students in the class and the story revolves around Donovan's impact on the class. How can he contribute to a class of kids, some of whom almost double his IQ? It is a funny, interesting book. All characters are treated fairly and the reader should go away with the realization that genius or not, all people deserve respect.
