The sidewalks. The backyards. The alleyways. The playgrounds. Except for Zinkoff. Zinkoff never wins. But Zinkoff doesn't notice. Neither do the other pups. Not yet. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Zinkoff is like all kids -- running, playing, riding his bike. Hoping for snow days, wanting to be his dad when he grows up. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Zinkoff is not like the other kids -- raising his hand with all the wrong answers, tripping over his own feet, falling down with laughter over a word like \"Jabip.\" The kids have their own word to describe him, but Zinkoff is too busy to hear it. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Once again, Newbery Medal-winning author Jerry Spinelli uses great wit and humor to create the unique story of Zinkoff as he travels from first through sixth grades. Loser is a touching book about the human spirit, the importance of failure, and how any name can someday be replaced with \"hero.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Jerry Spinelli is one of the most gifted storytellers in contemporary children's literature.
