Loser Book Review

       We just completed our third novel.  Loser is a book by Award Winner Jerry Spinelli.  The main character in this novel is Donald Zinkoff A.K.A Zinkoff.  One word that describes Zinkoff is brave. The reason I think this word describes him is because he doesn't care what people think of him.  Some of the settings in the story are 900 Willow Block, Zinkoff's house, and his school.  

       Important events that happened are Zinkoff loves school. Mrs. Biswell was irritated by Zinkoff because he kept messing with her stuff that only she can touch, plus threw up on it and he was asking dumb questions.  Mr. Yalowitz let Zinkoff sit in the front row and he was a problem. Mr. Zinkoff made a take Zinkoff to work day because his dad couldn't take him to his job on take your kid to work day or he would be fired.  Zinkoff skipped Field Day because nobody wanted him on their team. Then he ended up on 900 Willow Block. The old lady and Zinkoff ate peanut butter sandwiches with pretend jelly.  Zinkoff went looking for Claudia for 7 hours, so nice. The last one is Bonce left Zinkoff play on his football team.

       The best part of the book was when Zinkoff went looking for Claudia, because that shows how much he cares. If I could change anything in the book, I would have change when Bonce and Tuttle were throwing the ball at Zinkoff's chest because that's mean and he wouldn't do it to them.  Zinkoff had many Character Traits during this novel.  One Character Trait he had was caring because he went looking for Claudia for 7 hours.  Another Zinkoff Character Trait us unique because he does things his way and no matter what people say he's still the same.  I liked how the story ended because Bonce let Zinkoff play on his team and that was nice since he didn't know how to play that much.
