Donovan Gets The Ball Rolling 1g6z58
Donovan Curtis is the last kid you’d ever call gifted. In fact, he’s more of a troublemaker than anything. He and his friends pull stupid Greek God - which then rolled down the hill, smashing through the school’s gym and ruining the floor. But after a lucky mix-up, Donovan isn’t punished. Instead he’s sent to the school for gifted students.

At the Academy of Scholastic Distinction, Donovan meets the robotics team and brings new life to their once impersonal robot, Tin Man. The annual robotics competition is just around the corner and Donovan is a wonder with the joystick. But will he be able to stay under the radar long enough to remain at the school and compete, especially since his grades have fallen to new lows?
