@Sara: Your astute insights about HYPERGIFTED would have been a great addition to the Kormaniacs Book Club earlier this year. You’re the only one who caught the “We’re a father!” repeat (and we discussed a lot of “Easter eggs” and callbacks to earlier Korman books!).

If you want to read the whole chapter-by-chapter comments from the book club, they’re here: https://gordonkorman.com/forum?t=32014. (And the book club never closes, so add any thoughts/questions/trivia there if you feel inspired.)

I’m still holding out for the next -gifted series installment to be “Regifted,” in which Donovan gets conked on the head and wakes up with acquired savant syndrome, leading to being reunited with his ASD buddies in their new magnet high school.

Anyhow, the Kormaniacs will probably look at SLEEPLESS shortly after its release, and you should definitely be part of that discussion!
