Summary |
Sixth grader 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 club. A club he intends to be the only member of. After all, reading isn't a team sport, and no one would want to join something 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 like, Alec notices something. Real life might be messier than his favourite books, but it's just as interesting. |
