Search - Loser

I absolutely LOVE this book. It captures the life of a special kid and his very special story. Jerry Spinelli is officially one of my new favorite authors. This book should be read by anyone who liked Stargirl, another good read.

A classic children's coming of age book, loved by my 11-year old

Funny, sad, and enjoyable all at the same time. My son read this for summer reading and loved it!

Book is in good condition (no pages missing and/or loose)

Just like other kids, Zinkoff rides his bike, hopes for snow days, and wants to be like his dad. 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." Other kids have their own word to describe him, but Zinkoff is too busy to hear it. He doesn't know he's not like everyone else. And one winter night, Zinkoff's differences show that any name can someday become "hero."
