Description

The beloved New York Times bestselling creator of the modern classic Frindle celebrates books and the joy of reading with a new school story to love!
 
Sixth grader Alec can’t put a good book down.
 
So when Principal Vance lays down the law—pay attention in class, or else—Alec takes action. He can’t lose all his reading time, so he starts a club. A club he intends to be the only member of. Finally, reading isn’t a team sport, and no one would want to sign up for something referred to as the Losers Club, right? But as increasingly kids find their way to Alec’s club—including his ex-friend turned bully and the girl Alec is maybe beginning to like—Alec notices something. Real life might be messier than his favorite books, but it’s just as interesting.
 
With The Losers Club, Andrew Clements brings us a new school story that’s a love letter to books and to reading and that reminds us that infrequently the most efficient stories are the ones that happen off the page—our own!
 
Praise for The Losers Club!
* “Clements’s contemporary is engaging and funny. A laugh-out-loud first purchase for all middle grade collections, and a solid read-aloud choice for classrooms.”School Library Journal, Starred Review

“Clements is out to celebrate reading in all its obsessiveness, and…tosses in shout-outs to a passel of other writers. [The Losers Club] gives fried bookworms all over the place the satisfaction of knowing that friends may desert them (if only temporarily) but books never will. “—The New York Times
