[[spoiler:She still cheats on a test to keep Donovan in the program though, mainly out of gratitude for his sister saving her from summer school -and how that would look on her college application- and to keep his sister form leaving if he went]].

Donovan Curtis is the resident ClassClown 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.
The book was released on February 18th, 2012. It now has a sequel, ''Supergifted''.

!!Ungifted contains examples of:
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Noah. He wants to return to normal school so that he can have a normal life. He's actually tried to sabotage his grades by deliberately writing down all the wrong answers on his tests, but it doesn't work on the grounds that, for him to know all the wrong answers, it means he knew which answers to avoid. [[spoiler:He finally gets it when he takes the rap for one of his classmate's actions. He ends up going to Donovan's school.]]
* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: The Academy for Scholastic Distinction has a robotics class, which Donovan had become a part of.
