One hundred years in the future, Government Observers roam the classrooms of average learners, looking for the rare gifted learners still left in the general population. One gifted child, who has been carefully coached by his mother to appear average, is unaware that his abilities have been documented by an Observer for years, until he is tricked into showing his mathematical strengths. He is devastated to receive a letter requiring him to test at The School for Gifted Potentials, but he cleverly sabotages the tests and is prepared to leave, only to discover that his mother has abandoned him at the school she has raised him to fear. During his one week orientation, as he undertakes an enlightening journey of self-discovery, he uncovers a secret about his mother's past that leads him to question everything that he once believed.

Wonderful story and overview of gifted children!
By Patty
Giftedness seems to be such a "desirable" characteristic amongst the general population, something that many parents hope for in their offsprings, thinking that it must be great to have a child who easily aces all the subjects and grows up to wealth and fame. In actual fact, it is one of the least understood aspects of a child's development. It is amazing that so few parents and even educators actually know about the characteristics of giftedness (with possibly the exception of child prodigies), how to recognize it in children, and how to deal with such children on a daily basis.
This chasm of information is handled wonderfully in a kind, insightful manner by "Orientation (The School for Gifted Potentials)". Although a work of fiction (and great fiction with a fun storyline that made me read it in one sitting, now wondering what will happen to the protagonists in the next book!), it masterfully and I think accurately presents an overview of the "over-exciteabilities" that are characteristics of many gifted children. It explains why many gifted children may actually SUFFER rather than thrive in the regular educational system, and why they may be in constant painful confrontations with authority figures in their lives who are unable to comprehend their behavior or motivations, including their own loving parents!
As a mother who was shocked by her son's unexpected elementary school woes, it has been a trying and frankly lonely road looking for answers. Why was he not able to fit in? Why were none of the people at the local public school able to help? Why was my son, behaving and performing more than well all through 3 years of kindergarten, now suddenly the subject of almost daily tirades and punishments by his teacher, who even suggested that he be prescribed an ADHD drug! The "experienced" educators' views colored our own eye lenses for our child too, so that for a long, long time we also saw him in a negative light, wondering why he (and now his younger siblings) could not simply act like other children his age (if there is such a standard).
Now these woes can be explained to a great extent by the over-exciteabilities. There are many references available in the public arena explaining these characteristics of gifted children, but I think the author's spin on things, turning such information into a novel with specific characters in "The School for Gifted Potentials", made the existing information much clearer and easier to relate to for readers. I hope that through this book, the general population can begin to understand that "gifted children" (and gifted adults) are not just a set of faraway statistics that describe some elite sector of society, but are actually simply children with very real daily trials, pains, needs and feelings (which are of course magnified by their emotional over-exciteability!).

Promising start - and badly needed
By Dr G
As a teacher who works with gifted children, I was intrigued when I read a review of this book. It has great potential to help gifted children learn more about what being gifted means. I am reading it first myself before I decide whether it will be useful to recommend to some of the gifted children that I work with. I haven't finished it yet - I'm about 40% of the way through - but I decided to come on here to see whether any other reviewers had mentioned the excessive amount of typographical errors. As a book that is marketed to gifted children, it is just not acceptable to contain so many errors. A simple proof-read would have picked them up. There are instances of mixing up homophones, like 'here' and 'hear', sentences that are missing words, and one instance where the word 'commiserate' was used, when the context clearly indicated that the word should have been 'commensurate'.
I recommend finding a gifted child to proof-read the next edition. The number of errors is really affecting my enjoyment of this book.

Helpful book
By RoboBoy
Once I started this book, I wanted to keep reading. This book helped me understand who I am and my qualities. I understand now why I have vivid dreams and embellish stories. I also get why I can picture my future so well. It was a fun read and did not seem just like a non-fiction text book. The characters were dynamic, the pace was good, and was the right length.
I can't wait for the sequel!
