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 favorite books, but it’s just as interesting.\n\nWith The Losers Club, Andrew Clements brings us a new school story that’s a love letter to books and to reading and that reminds us that sometimes the best stories are the ones that happen off the page—our own!\n\nWinner of the Rhode Island Children's Book Award (2019)\nWinner of the International Reading Association and Children's Book Council: Children's Choices List (2018)\nWinner of the Garden State Children's Book Award (2020)\n2021 Grand Canyon Reader Award Nominee\nA Kansas William White Master List Selection (2018 \u0026amp; 2019)\nAn Arkansas Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award Nominee (2019)\nA California Young Reader Medal Nominee (2019)\nA Nebraska Golden Sower Award Nominee (2019)\nA Virginia Young Readers Program Award Nominee (2019)\nA Minnesota Maud Heart Lovelace Award Nominee (2019)\nA Missouri Mark Twain Award Nominee (2019)\nAn Oregon Reader’s Choice Award Nominee (2019)\n\nPraise for The Losers Club!\n* \"Clements’s latest is engaging and funny.
