Max ToroDear Mr. Korman
I believe that Ungifted begins in Donovan's 8th grade year, so does that mean that the first two books cover the majority of the Academic Year (August - Early May) and Hypergifted covers the summer after Donovan's 8th grade year? I've been thinking about the ASD only lasting until 8th grade, leaving potential for a "Hardcastle High" 4th book where the ASD characters finally have a natural way to be reintegrated into the plot. I just wanted to see if my interpretation of the timeline of the current trilogy was correct; and that the ASD does indeed feed into a regular high school after 8th grade.
Regards, Max

Zola Gay☁I feel like maybe there would be a HardCastle High or like a Gifted High school just instead of them just feeding into ASD. I think the idea of having them going to a regular high school and trying to fit in with the 'Normal students' Would be really humorous!

Max ToroHi Zola,
Exactly. That\'s what I\'m trying to explain. I believe that the ASD is a K-8 school, ending in Grade 8, and because it ends in Grade 8, it might open a lot of potential.

Hi, Max & Zola,
Thanks for posting and for trying to help out each other! I planned ASD as a K-8, but by its very nature, it might soar well above Grade 8. Actually, I have no plans for a third book, but that could change if I come up with a plot that I feel like exploring. No guarantees, though. But with Noah, the sky's the limit!
Thanks again, -----Gordon Korman-----
