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!! So the main character: Donovan is a troublemaker with a captial T. During the biggest game of the season, Donovan's school is vs. their enemies in basketball and determined to win...but when Donvon yells a cheer for the other team on the PCA he's put in detention. But when he's in detention, his friends help him sneak out and when their hanging out by the school statue of "Atlas" Donovon tries something out, like hitting Atlas's giant butt with a stick and Atlas's {rock} goes tumbling toward the school which rolls through the parking lot, misses the cars, crashes through the glass doors, and splinters the gym floor where the basketball game was being held. He ends up getting in trouble again, and when the principal writes his name down there's a mixup with the secretary and before long: he's transfered to a MOSIACS school and is hiding from the principal there.
