{"product_id":"loser","title":"Loser","description":"Donald Zinkoff is one of the greatest kids you could ever hope to meet. He laughs easily, he likes people, he loves school, he tries to rescue lost girls in blizzards, he talks to old ladies. The only problem is, he's a loser. Until fourth grade, Zinkoff's uncontrollable giggling in class, sloppy handwriting, horrible flute playing, bad grades, clumsiness, and ineptitude at sports go largely unnoticed. When he blows a race for his team, however, his transition to loserdom is complete: \"[Loser] is the word. It is Zinkoff's new name. It is not in the roll book.\" Fortunately, he doesn't really notice. As he did in Stargirl, Newbery Medal-winning author Jerry Spinelli again explores the cruelty of a student body and how it does and doesn't affect one student, pure of spirit. Presumably if Loser makes one child view a \"different kid\" as a three-dimensional character, Spinelli will consider his book successful.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0439460794\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0439460794.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jerry Spinelli\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
