Loser

Loser
by Jerry Spinelli

Jerry Spinelli always seems to be able to get inside
a kid's head and tell it like it is.  His characters are
often quirky and different just like real kids, and just
like real kids quirky and different isn't always
popular with the "in crowd."  Just because someone
isn't a part of that crowd -- does that make him a
loser?
Loser makes a terrific literature discussion book.  For lesson ideas and
