Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ungifted is a Children's novel by Gordon Korman.Donovan Curtis is the resident Class Clown of his school. He sees himself as being good at pranks... and not much else. One day, after some goading from his friends, Donovan smacks the school's Atlas statue with a stick, causing the planet Atlas is holding to roll out of its arms and down the hill... into the school gymnasium... while a basketball game is going on.The district superintendent, Dr. Schultz, was present at the game, and caught Donovan red-handed. Donovan knows it's pretty much the end for him.And then he finds himself sent to the Academy for Scholastic Distinction (ASD).Yeah, while writing down Donovan's name, Dr. Schultz didn't check the papers he was writing it on. As a result, Donovan is now in a school for really smart kids, rather then getting whatever punishment his actions would have wrought. He ends up joining the robotics class, which is currently building their latest bot for a competition that robotics classes always hold.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The book was released on February 18th, 2012. It now has a sequel, Supergifted.

Catch-22 Dilemma: Noah laments that the only way to get out of the gifted program would be an act of sheer genius, but that everyone displaying sheer genius gets sent to to the gifted program.
