I liked this book, and the story, although I found it a bit slow at the beginning. I really liked how even though he wasn't supposed to be at the Gifted school, the students made him feel welcome and the Gifted kids really needed him.

Korman does a fairly good job of getting inside the heads of different characters. Much of his humour here involves caricatures in unlikely situations, which does perpetuate some stereotypes, but he also blurs those lines and promotes the…

This is a VERY well-written book. I only disliked one thing: TOO well-written. I couldn't put it down--I think I got less than three hours of sleep the night I read it!

Perpetuating the stereotypes of gifted and "normal" kids, this unrealistic book was a big disappointment. Even though I usually love Gordon Korman's books, this is not one I'd recommend.

I like this book because it shows that even if you're not a genius, you can still be good at something.

I love Donovan and his mischievous character. This book represents the 'use' of playing video games! They really should have had a little better ending though...

Like many of Gordon Korman's books, this is a great story with an interesting way of changing the point of view and plenty of humour. Donovan is a very interesting character, though personally I enjoyed Katie.
