Ungifted

The word gifted has never been applied to Donovan Curtis.  It's usually more like Don't try this at home.  So when the troublemaker pulls a major prank at his middle school, he thinks he's finally gone too far.  But thanks to a mix-up, instead of getting in trouble, Donovan is sent to the Academy of Scholastic Distinction (ASD), a program for gifted and talented students.

It wasn't what Donovan had intended, but there couldn't be a more perfect hideout.  That is, if he can manage to fool people whose IQs are above genius level.  But after an ongoing experiment with a live human (sister), an unforgettable dramatic middle-school dance, and the most astonishing come-from-behind robot victory ever, Donovan shows that his gifts might be exactly what the ASD students never knew they needed.
