A review by kylielynelle
Loser by Jerry Spinelli

4.0

I enjoyed this book for so many reasons. It is clever, and seriously funny yet heart warming. However, as a read aloud for a fourth grade class, Loser fell a bit short. Most of the humor was from the point of view of an adult, so it fell a bit flat for 9-10 year olds. This story does teach an excellent lesson about acceptance of others. I might consider trying it as a read aloud again with a different group of kids.
