Un chico de lo más normal / Ungifted

Resumen del Libro

El término "superdotado" nunca se ha aplicado a un chico como Donovan Curtis, quien es más conocido por sus bromas absurdas y estrafalarias. Cuando una de sus acciones tiene resultados verdaderamente desastrosos, parece que al fin ha ido demasiado lejos. Pero gracias a un error de uno de los administrativos del colegio, Donovan es enviado a la Academia de Excelencia Escolar (AEE), a formar parte de un programa especial para estudiantes dotados y talentosos. No era precisamente lo que Donovan tenía en mente, pero resulta que no podría haber unmejor escondite para él. Ahora solo tendrá que engañar a todos estos chicos con coeficientes intelectuales de genios y pasar inadvertido. A medida que los maestros y estudiantes de la AEE lo conocen, se dan cuenta de que Donovan no es bueno en matemáticas o ciencias (o en nada, en realidad...), y su fachada corre el riesgo de desaparecer. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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.
