Loser by Jerry Spinelli
3.0
This story is definitely a Spinelli story if you've ever read his books before. Quirky solitary boy, plot driven by theme and character development, and vague slightly thin ending. I like plot to be driven by action, so I don't think I'm ever going to fall in love with his stories where following a character's subtle change and redemption is the main premise.
That being said, this is a really great book to facilitate discussion, especially about differences, attitudes, and kindness. Parts of the book had me (and my class) gasping and laughing and anxious to read more, so it was definitely a solid read.
