Chapter 31: Hyperhomecoming (President Aberfoyle)

Noah exhibits a remarkable amount of maturity recognizing he’s too immature to navigate his college career all alone.

@Josh: The Raina/Donovan ship has set sail (I’m old enough that my mind initially parses that as “that ship has sailed,” which means pretty much the opposite), but I wonder how much say Donovan had in the determination of their relationship status.

@Owen: Yes, tomorrow closes out the final chapter—we’ve been analyzing HYPERGIFTED for a full month! I think you’re right about President Aberfoyle, and I’ll add: More universities need a leader like him. He seems like a good man. I’m not sure of a direct comparison to The Fish—but Mrs. Aberfoyle and Mrs. Sturgeon would definitely be friends.

@Elliot: Good sleuthing! Some mystery authors love the ending to be a complete surprise to the readers. Others like to drop hints that allow sharp readers to see what the protagonist(s) can’t, letting us guess at what that means for the story development. This book has a couple of mysteries, and I think we’re meant to pick up on the clues dropped along the way.
