SophiaThe other day I was thinking about Ungifted and about those poor kids who were supposed to be in the gifted program but couldn't because Dr. Schultz messed up the list. Poor them, imagine you were supposed to go to this amazing, specialised school but couldn't because of an administrative mistake. I hope we see them in Hypergifted as background characters lol.

Wow, what a conversation! I think Dr. Schultz scribbled the name down on the nearest sheet of paper, and it turned out to be the Gifted list. So I don't think anyone got left out. I think they just added a guy.
As for HYPERGIFTED, I'm looking forward to hearing what the fans think about that one! I almost died laughing just writing it.
Thanks for your comments! -----Gordon Korman-----
