From #1 New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel in which one middle-school troublemaker accidentally moves into the gifted and talented program—and changes everything. For fans of Louis Sachar and Jack Gantos, this funny and touching underdog story is a lovable and goofy adventure with robot fights, middle-school dances, live experiments, and statue-toppling pranks!

When Donovan Curtis pulls a major prank at his middle school, he thinks he’s finally gone too far. But thanks to a mix-up by one of the administrators, instead of getting in trouble, Donovan is sent to the Academy of Scholastic Distinction, a special program for gifted and talented students.

Although it wasn’t exactly what Donovan had intended, the ASD couldn’t be a more perfectly unexpected hideout for someone like him. But as the students and teachers of ASD grow to realize that Donovan may not be good at math or science (or just about anything), he shows that his gifts may be exactly what the ASD students never knew they needed.

I loved this book. It was amazing and teaches u a good lesson. I recommend this book for everyone.

I want to read this a lot of people in our class have but is it good?

This book may be the CRAZIEST book I've read, and I loved it! It was very confusing sometimes, but if you understand it all makes sense. If you want a laugh, read this book!

I thought this book was amazing. It's about this boy named Donavan Curtis who gets in big trouble, and then his school secretary forgets is name, and accidently enrolls him in a school for gifted children. The way the author tells the story is that within each chapter, it's a different character speaking.

This book is amazing and it is about a boy who get's in trouble at his school but then he get accepted into the gifted program and turns his world upside down.

loved the book , good for all in grades 4 through 7. you should read it.

I read it because I`m in battle of the books so I had to at first I didn`t get it but then I figured out it was showing us all the characters point of view.
