Loser

The book I read was Loser. I would recommend it to people who are not feeling so confident. The reason I say this is because once you see what Donald Zinkoff's life is like, it will make you feel alot better.
Loser is about a kid who never wins. Everything hedoes, he loses. At first, he or anyone else dosen't notice that he loses at eveything. He loves school. Homeschooled until first grade, Donald (or as every calls his by his last name Zinkoff) never really had any friends. Eventually, he found some. His first friend he got was in first grade. His name was Andrew. When he moved, Zinkoff didn't really have any friends until forth grade. His teacher gave him a end of the year test. One of the questions was "who is your best friend. Zinkoff realized that he did not have a best friend. Then he thought of someone. His name was Harry and he was very weird. That friendship didn't last very long. Later on in the book, he found Andrew again. He was in his grade and became popular and athletic. Then winter came. Zinkoff loved the winter. He loved sleding and snowball fights. One day he was playing in a snow ball fight and got done a little late. When he was walking back to his house, he saw a ambulance and a cop car. He found out that a little girl was missing that was his old friend when he was yonger. When he noticed that she was gone, he looked for her. Well actually, he looked for her for seven hours in the freezing cold. Eventually a truck driver saw him and took him back to is house. When he got home his parents were woried sick. Then his parents told him that they found the girl and the ambulance and the police were actually looking for him. The next day when he went to school he was waiting to be picked for basketball at recess. The two people who were captians were the most athletic people in their grade. One of them was Andrew. As usaual, Zinkoff was one of the last ones left. Normaly he wouldn't get chosen, but he was because Andrew was curious of what is was like during that seven hours of searching for the little girl, and he became a winner.
