Book Summary

Donovan Curtis is a well-meaning but mischievous boy who accidentally gets enrolled in the Academy for Scholastic Distinction (ASD), a school for highly gifted students, after a school prank goes wrong. Despite not being academically brilliant, Donovan's unique social skills, creativity, and ability to connect with people bring unexpected positive changes to the rigid, academically focused environment of ASD. He helps the robotics team with their social dynamics and problem-solving, encourages a shy girl to open up, and ultimately proves that 'gifted' comes in many forms, making a lasting impact on the school community.
