Hypergifted is the third book of the Ungifted Series by Gordon Korman. aka the third book to what used to be my one of my favorite series ever.
This was such a nostalgic read! I think Gordon Korman still has that same classic way of writing middle grade books that feels realistic and humourous. This is just a silly goofy little book for silly goofy little people. aka me.
We see the same two main characters from the previous book, and I love their friendship. I think at certain times they have an uneven relationship where one character is more relying on the other while not being a great friend. But there's also other times where I just enjoyed their bromance. and bromance is >>>>
Despite not being the target audience for this book, I still had fun with it. The writing, at some points, made me giggle. I will say that at certain points, it could also pull me out of the story. During some of the POV shifts, it felt like a lot telling and not showing. I wasn't there; I was just listening to a version of a story. This lessened the emotional connection I had to it.
This is definitely a book meant for more of a fun, quick, light-hearted read. While not super memorable, it is a nice read. I think a middle schooler who is meant for this book would enjoy it more, but older audiences could also have a good time with it.
