* “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 Review
“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
“I LOVED this book . . . Five stars. I cannot wait to talk about this when we head back to school next year. I think my fifth graders are going to love it.” —Colby Sharp, teacher, blogger, and co-founder of the Nerdy Bookclub
“Best-selling author of beloved school stories, Clements (Frindle, 1998) celebrates readers, inclusion, and the joy of discovering new books. Refreshing and empowering.” —Booklist
“Readers will instantly relate to Alec’s passion and plight, and Clements once again effectively taps into the challenges of middle school social politics and mapping out one’s identity. This empathetic coming-of-age journey makes it clear how limiting and pointless labels can be, and that both books and real life have quite a bit to offer.” —Publishers Weekly
“Readers will cheer Alec on….Another upbeat, modern school story sure to please fans and teachers.” —Kirkus Reviews
