Donovan Curtis saved a family's lives and he's not receiving any credit. In Supergifted by Gordan Korman, Donovan swerved a runaway propane truck from hitting and killing an innocent family. Noah his best friend takes the credit for saving the lives of the Mercury family. This starts a conflict between the two.

The Propane truck symbolizes where this whole mystery started, and how a lot of people lives changed either for the good or the bad.

The silver medal is a symbol because, this is what Noah used as proof that he was the person who saved the mercury family. The truck driver had it on his dashboard when the truck crashed into the pool.

Fame represents what it can do to a person. Noah went from 0-100 in a matter of hours. He also let it get to him he started being mean to his friend, Donovan, when he was the true super kid!

My connection is text to text. Just as when Noah started being mean to his only friend, so did Rowley in Diary of a Wimpy kid. They both have the exact situation. They both did something big. They both created new friends. They both kicked their friends under the bus.

In Supergifted it seems everyone is against Donovan. Brad, Noah, dad, Mom, friends, everyone. Even when everyone found out that it was Donovan they didn't give him the praise they gave Noah. Even Donovan's dad said, "Superkid?, I can't even get you to mow the lawn." The only person who seemed to appreciate Donovan's accomplishment was Brad.

The lesson learned in supergifted is that you can't hide everything. In the first book "Ungifted" Donovan tried to hide that he knocked over the statue. Now he was scared to admit he was the superkid! He should've just been honest. All in all Hashtags family complemented Donovan's family and didn't declare Beatrice vicious.

I saw so many good things ahead, like being famous and having a lot of friends. But standard probability analysis told me the Donovan wasn't likely to be one of them.(Korman 232.)

Donovan has a lot of challenges against Noah. First he took responsibility for being the super kid. Next he dumped him for a bunch of popular kids who only wanted to be friends with him because he was the super kid. This starts a rivalry against the two.
