Alec loves to read so much he often finds himself in the principal's
office for reading during class. Mrs. Vance tells Alec to not read in class
because if he continues he will have to go to summer school. Not reading during
class is killing Alec so he decides to create a club in Extended Day Program,
an after school program. He dedicates his club to reading and calls his club
the Losers Club. The name is to keep other kids from joining the club so he can
spend his time reading by himself.
This book is about Alec’s journey through
friendship, dealing with his ex-friend turned bully, his crush, and learning
about himself. This book was super cute. I loved how it got the good and the
bad of being a kid. I thought that the characters were well developed and I
loved the way the book was written.
