The Gifted, the Talented and Me by William Sutcliffe |
Sam's dad suddenly finds himself rich, his family are thrilled. Not Sam, the "ordinary" middle one. Enrolled into a school for Gifted and Talented, Sam is unimpressed. The others (parents included) are gifted, talented and creative, looking to express themselves. Why should he conform to their mores? There is plenty of humour as Sutcliffe asks some interesting questions about individuality versus community for a teenage audience. Well worth a read.
