Loser was first published in 2002 by American author Jerry Spinelli. It portrays the growth of Zinkoff, who is considered "stupid" by his classmates due to his clumsiness, poor performance in school and athletics, and sometimes, clueless enthusiasm. This book is unique among Spinelli's works as it is written entirely in the present tense. It was nominated for the 2004-05 Mark Twain Award.[1]
