__Loser__ by Jerry Spinelli Reviewed by Kiana Pinter April 11, 2011 __Loser__ by Jerry Spinelli is an awesome, fun, some what goss, book! I would recommend you to read it because it talks/shows that anyone's name no matter how funny or crazy it sounds, can become the name 'hero'. I would also recommend you to read this book because it talks about the boy named Zinkoff who is always jumping for joy, getting up in class every single something happy or exciting is said and yells, "YAHOO!". Zinkoff happens to be one of those kids who are always called the 'losers' (hint hint) even though he doesn't know it and is always too busy to even here the word and not just that, always some way or another, become everyone's best friend in the end. The genre of __Loser__ is Realistic Fiction. There is a couple of problems in this book that arise and then settle. One of his problems is natural. I'm sorry to ladies and gentlemen, but its hurling. See, anyone can hurl when their sick or feeling nauseous. But no. Not Zinkoff. Donald Zinkoff was born with a upside down valve in his stomach which cause him to hurl several times a week and to him, its almost as natural as breathing! Anyways, thats solved by him going to a hospital and the doctors turning the upside down valve, right side up. Another problem is, time. Zinkoff hates waiting. Time slows him down. He hates just waiting as time seems to fill him up with boredomness. Thats natural. Anyways, the last problem is being a loser. He just can't seem to understand that no one wants him on their team in a game of basketball, no one wants him to be on any colored team when it comes to field day. And he never wins until one night, a little girl name Polly, goes missing. But I'll leave the details to you if you plan on reading the book. Favorite character: The Waiting Man, Clunker 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Clinker 1 (these are the names Zinkoff has for certain things) and of course ZINKOFF! home  ﻿Cobra Reviews of Page-Turners
