Loser is by Jerry Spinelli. Donald Zinkoff is a "loser". He wears a giraffe hat, he is clumsy, he giggles uncontrollably, and he loves school. He longs to sit in the front of the class, but until 4th grade he always ends up in the back because his name begins with "Z". After his poor coordination loses an athletic contest for his class, his status as "loser" is confirmed. Then comes middle school and Donald is determined to become a hero. When a local girl goes missing Donald is determined to find her. Will he? Will he be able to go from "zero" to "hero"? Another wonderful tale from the master of juvenile fiction.
Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10.
