"Loser" is a book about a boy who doesn't care what others think despite the fact they all think he is a loser. Donald Zinkoff has always been different in the eyes of his classmates yet he doesn't seem to mind. His carefree attitude takes him on many adventures throughout his life and he meets a cast of characters who will make more than a lasting impression.
I thought this book was great! I can relate to this story because when I was younger, I often made fun of a certain boy whom I thought was a big loser. I sort of hung out with the "popular" or "jock" crowd because I played sports throughout my school years. I definitely gave this kid a hard time because he was different and it made my friends laugh. Eventually I had a class with this boy and we were assigned to do a project together. I was not excited and asked to have a different partner. Of course the teacher said "no" and although I was super unhappy, my partner didn't seem to care. To make a long story short, we ended up becoming best friends. I realized that I had more in common with this "loser" kid than my own friends! I grew tired with my "old" friends and their attitude and started hanging out with other "loser" kids.
This book teaches a great message to kids: Be yourself! Don't let others influence you and don't worry about what others say and do. I really enjoyed reading "Loser" and recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read."
This book is talking about the little boy. his name is Zinkoff . He is just like other kids. He rides a bike, hope for snow day. He didn't know everybody was looking at him wasn't like everyone else. He always lose in every game, but he never get and always be happy all of the happens that he did. When i read again tomorrow, i hope this story will have a amazing to everyone is one day, he will have a good answer in class. Besides that, he will not be loser and can win glory for his team. I wish for that happen because at school or anywhere, other kids had their own word to describe him. It make me feel displeasing and don't like everyone behave toward him like a stranger.If this happen will be coming with him, at that time, everybody will look at him by their eyes amazement. Reading this book,i really want to ask Zinkoof a question is how he didn't be angry when everybody were laughing at him. Futhermore, why the author gave Zinkoof is a person who always be loser in story. I choose these questions to ask because when i got this book, i think that loser in story is a dictator or don't like to talk with anybody. I really like this book because I believe that this book is good for all children and adult. They can learn a lot of experiences from this book, especailly Zinkoff."
"Loser by Jery spanelli is a book that fallows Donalld Zinkofs life from kindergarten through the sixth grade. It explns how he became a looser. His life as a looser and how he even eventaly how he stoped being one. The book reveals the key events in Zincofs life wich made it the way it is, like wearing a three foot tall elephant hat on the first day of school, or looking for a girl that isnt even missing. I can connect this to my life because in the fourth grade there were serten things that I did that didn't make me very populer. More unfourtunitly for Zinkof loosing a race in the forth grade made him a looser for the next two years. I recomend this book to annyone who likes an interesting realistic fiction story. I gave the book three stars because I liked how it didint cover just one year in Zinkofs life but much of his chield hood it explanes much more and helps the reader connect more with the character."
