    Loved it and hated it

    loved it and hated it. It was a bad ending and I didn't like that. I wish Zinkoff would have shown all the other kids that he wasn't a loser. I loved it because it was realistic in that that's the way life is. Sometimes you are always a loser in the eyes of the other kids. but, you can be a winner to yourself.

    Great Read Aloud

    As a fifth grade teacher I think this is a GREAT read aloud. It deals with growing up, fitting in, and loving yourself. You can't go wrong.
