Loser by Jerry Spinelli

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


loser by Jerry Spinelli was published in 2002. This is a book about bullying. The author has won a newbery metal. It has 218 pages and took about 3 weeks to read. The main character is Donald, his mother, his father, his sister, the old lady, the waiting man, Claudia, and Andrew and school teachers. The setting was during school, it took place mostly at school.
School was the setting. The protagonist is Donald and he has to make many choices, he is bullied in school. He is always made fun of for being different and not perfect. The major conflict is bullying. The kids at school are the antagonists.
The author is trying to show bullying isn't right. he shouldn't have to deal with bullies cause its not right. The characters show that because they all make fun of him for being himself. I disagree with all this, kids shouldn't be bullied, even though most kids are, they're either bullied or they are a bully.
I like this book because everyone can relate, they either are a bully or are bullied. its not right to bully and this could show kids that they shouldn't bully kids, it can hurt. they need to realize words do hurt.
I recommend this book to someone who likes children stories, its for all ages. i think everyone should read it because we can all relate. its something that kids can relate to and parents will know about. kids are bullied all the time and its horrible. kids should grow up happy and safe. not bullied and put down.
