This book is very very good!! Everyone ought to read it.
Sandy Irwin (11/01/02)

After reading "The body of Christopher Creed" by Carol Plum-Ucci and "Shattering Glass" by Gail Giles, I wanted a book from the loser's perspective. The next book that I read was perfect - and that book was "Loser." I was able to put myself in Zinkoff's position. This book helped me to think about others, and empathize with people that may not be like myself. An excellent story for kids 4th grade and up.
