Loser

From renowned Newbery-winning author Jerry Spinelli comes an incredible story about how not fitting in might just lead to an incredible life. Just like other kids, Zinkoff rides his bike, hopes for snow days, and wants to be like his dad when he grows up. 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." With some of his finest writing to date and great wit and humor, Jerry Spinelli creates a story about a boy's individuality surpassing the need to fit in and the genuine importance of failure. As readers follow Zinkoff from first through sixth grade'making this a perfect classroom read'and watch his character develop, it becomes impossible not to identify with and root for him through failures and triumphs. Supports the Common Core State Standards.

  • ""En classe, alors qu'il suffit de lever la main pour répondre à la maîtresse, Zinkoff saute si vite sur ses pieds qu'il renverse son bureau, lance les bras en l'air et braille en direction du plafond : " Hourraaaa!" Au foot, quand par hasard quelqu'un lui fait une passe, il tape la balle encore et encore, franchit les lignes du terrain et ne s'arrête qu'au parking. Dans la cour, lorsqu'un grand, exaspéré, l'attrape et lui tord le bras, il rigole même au milieu de ses propres larmes. Il est comme ça, Zinkoff, enthousiaste, maladroit, brouillon, trop lent ou trop rapide, et toujours tordu de rire. Les autres enfants s'en amusent et l'acceptent tel qu'il est. Pour l'instant."
  • "Donald gaat graag naar school en de andere kinderen vinden hem dus onuitstaanbaar. Als hij een held blijkt te zijn verandert dat."
