Synopsis

This funny and heartwarming sequel to Ungifted, which has become a word-of-mouth hit, cleverly sends up our ideas about intelligence, heroism, and popularity.Donovan Curtis has never been what anyone would call “gifted.” But his genius friend Noah Youkilis is actually supergifted, with one of the highest IQs around. After years at the Academy for Scholastic Distinction, all Noah dreams of is the opportunity to fail if he wants to. And he’s landed in the perfect place to do it—Donovan’s school.Almost immediately, Noah finds himself on the wrong side of cheerleading captain Megan Mercury and alpha jock Hash “Hashtag” Taggart. Sticking up for Noah lands Donovan in the middle of a huge feud with Hashtag. He’s told to stay away from the sports star—or else.That should be the end of it, but when a freak incident suddenly makes Donovan a hero, he can’t tell anyone about it since Hashtag is involved. So Noah steps in and becomes “Superkid.” Now he’s gone from nerd to titan at school. And it may have gone more than a little bit to his head.

4.5/5 "আনগিফটেড " একটু ম্রিয়মাণ ছিলো করম্যানের অন্যান্য উপন্যাসের তুলনায়। সিরিজের দ্বিতীয় বই যে এতো জমজমাট হবে তা ভাবতে পারিনি। করম্যানের সিগনেচার স্টাইলে লেখা এ বইটি আক্ষরিক অর্থেই "unputdownable." গল্পের অপ্রত্যাশিত সব মোচড়, রসবোধ, শুভবোধ, খ্যাতির মোহ, মিডিয়া ফ্রেঞ্জি, মনস্তাত্ত্বিক বিশ্লেষণ আ......more

Goodreads review by Xander on March 31, 2021

Donovan is a pretty strong character--someone it's easy to root for. Unfortunately, the rest of the characters left something to be desired in this story; especially Noah. I really needed him to apologize to Donovan for being a self-centered jerk through most of the story, not just to apologize for......more

A fun, quick read. I would've liked to have seen more of the genius kids other than Noah, and it really bothered me how little anyone listed to or appreciated Donovan - even in the end.......more

The plot was good. But overall my least favorite Gordon Korman book due to the fact that everything that happened was explained on the back cover. There was no questions that pushed the book forward. So repetitive!!!! The whole book could have been jammed onto 10 pages. The only slightest mystery (H......more

Korman Has Fun With Nerd Conventions This book is narrated by "normal" kid Donovan, (the hero of book one - "Ungifted"), but it is owned by Noah Youkilis, the supergifted 200 IQ genius-plus, who yearns to be a failure at something. The setup is that Noah leaves the Academy for the Gifted, (where he d......more
