Loser

Loser is a touching book about the human spirit, the importance of failure, and how any name can someday be replaced with 'hero'. It follows the life of Donald Zinkoff, who is one of the greatest kids you could ever hope to meet. He laughs easily, he likes people, he loves school, but he's not perfect. He trips, he falls, and he doesn't win. But, Zinkoff also raises his hand with all the wrong answers, trips over his own feet, and falls down with laughter over a word like 'Jabip.' Through elementary school to junior high, Zinkoff is endearing and funny and he embraces his individuality.
