Description

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 new club during After School. A club he intends to be the only member of. Afterall, reading isn't a team sport. And no one would want to join a club called the Losers Club, right? But as more and more kids find their way to Alec's club--including his ex-friend turned bully and the girl Alec is maybe starting to likes--Alec notices something. Real life may be messier than the 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 sometimes the best stories are the ones that happen off the page--our own! "Clements's latest 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 "Clements is out to celebrate reading in all its obsessiveness. . . . The Losers Club gives fried bookworms everywhere the satisfaction of knowing that friends may desert them (if only temporarily) but books never will." --The New York Times The beloved New York Times bestselling author of the modern classic Frindle celebrates books and the joy of reading with a new school story to love!
