The Loser List, Book 3
Written by H.N. Kowitt
Jinx of the Loser is the 3rd book in The Loser List series, but it is a book that can be enjoyed without reading the other books first. At a school baseball championship game, 7th grader Danny Shine reaches over the fence into the field to catch a fly ball, causing a series of events that has his team lose the game and the championship. After that, everything that goes wrong at school becomes his fault, as he is now The Jinx. This is a story straight out of middle school about bullying told with plenty of humor. The pages are lined and the font is handwritten, with black and white cartoonish drawings, similar to a Wimpy Kid book. The book has a great message about friendship, teamwork, and self-confidence. I’m sure it will be very popular in our school.
