Supergifted

It pains me to say this, but this book was pretty bad. Normally Korman's books are great. Ungifted, the Slacker series, and Unplugged are some examples. But this one was just annoying. Reading Korman's book Restart was like this for me, in the sense that it made me straight up hate some of the characters. In this one I really hated Noah Youkillis for taking credit for Donovan's act of heroisim, and that's a bad thing because Noah is an interesting and funny character and you can end up ignoring that when you think about his faults. Also, Donovan's family were very unlikable in this book. I mean how would you feel if your sister told your newborn neice that your friend (who stole credit from you) was her favorite uncle and then been told by your father that he couldn't belive that you (I can't put italics in kindle reviews but the "you" should be italicized as in "you of all people" or "I can't belive someone as good as the Superkid would hang out with someone as bad as you) were friends with the Superkid? I would feel pretty darn bad. And yes, I understand that Noah's intentions were good, but by the end, he started to get a swelled head and became friends with a bunch of people that he wouldn't have been friends with otherwise. And then, when Donovan was finally recognized as the Superkid, no one wanted to be friends with him! Overall, this book just made me mad and that is not a good quality in a book. I really hope that Mr. Korman continues this series but without all of the injust and angering things, because as I said there are some great characters in this series.

We enjoyed "gifted" very much and were eager to write the sequel- unfortunately, it was so frustrating! Every element was so annoying- the plot, character development- one of the first books we ever put down halfway through and won't finish! We normally love Korman (Swindle, On the Run, the Macdonald Hall series, no more dead dogs, masterminds- all great!!) but this was just bad.

i love these two... books and i have read the slacker series but you need to stick to these books and slacker prferlibay these because these books are soo good and i want to know what happens next and i love donavan he is a like me but not the beating stuff and breaking thing but i do do and not think sometimes plus i wanna see him and chole say they like eachother. please email me gordon about another one at barnesbperry@gmail.com

Supergifted picks up right where Ungifted leaves off, with Noah getting kicked out of the Academy and having to go to “regular” school with Donovan. The character development, especially of Noah, is fabulous. The way things are phrased is often very funny. My 10- and 12-year-old boys absolutely loved the book (and I enjoyed it, too). I highly recommend it to middle grade age kids. It makes a great family read-aloud, too!

I just finished reading Ungifted and Superungifted. A friend in book club recommended them. She is a former middle school teacher, and often recommends such books which are fitting for youth and adults both. The gifted and ungifted are not always recognizable, and the definition of gifted may vary from chapter to chapter. It's a great enjoyable read that allowable reader to look at things from citywide and still be unsure what is what in the gifted and ungifted department.

I really got a kick out of this sequel. Supergifted Noah's joyful adventures in finding what he's NOT good at are hilarious. It's worth reading just for the cheerleading scenes but there's much more.

I enjoyed this one just as much as Ungifted. Thanks to the author for making the world seem more normal and safe in these tumultuous times. A relaxing, funny, human story even if High school is 35 years behind you.

After reading the first book in the Ungifted Book Universe, I could not get enough of his writing. He perfectly illustrates the minds of characters in the life of a boy with a lack of impulse control. It is an perfect sequel to the original books story. The book shows that you don't have to be a superhero to do super things. It doesn't take a perfect person to be super. And you don't have to be gifted to understand that.

If you haven't read Ungifted, go there first; this book will be even more fun for you knowing the history of the characters. Buy both books and sit back to enjoy a fun feel good story.

This book is great, very fun to read for kids and super cool

I really enjoy his books. They make me laugh.

My niece loved it. She is a big fan of his.
