UNGIFTED
KORMAN, GORDON
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Donovan is definitely skilled... at getting into trouble. And when one of his thoughtless pranks accidentally
destroys the school gym during the Big Game, with the superintendent watching, he knows he’s in for it.
Suspension at best, maybe expulsion. Either way, a lawsuit and paying for damages. But through a strange
chain of events, his name gets put on the list for the local school for gifted students: the Academy for Scholastic
Distinction. Donovan knows he’s not a genius, but he can’t miss this chance to escape. Now, he has to figure
out a way to stay at ASD — and fit in with the kids there. And who knows, maybe his real gift will come to light...

THE VANISHING
HOLT, CHRISTOPHER
When all the humans in his world disappear, Max, a yellow Labrador Retriever, begins the search for his family.
He knows that if he can just find Madame Curie, a wise, old black Lab, she'll be able to help. Madame had a
premonition of astonishing events to come -- she must know where Max's family is. But Max can't make the
journey alone. Joined by friends Rocky and Gizmo, Max sets off to find Madame. Along the way, the trio must
face a pack of angry wolves, forage for food in a land where kibble is akin to gold, befriend a house full of cats,
and outsmart a gang of subway rats. Ultimately, they'll have to escape from the biggest threat of all: the
Corporation, a "perfect" society for dogs and by dogs, where nothing is quite as it seems.
