-Descripcion Original:

At Jack Logans sports-crazy New Jersey high school, the new rule is that all kids must play on a team. So Jack and a ragtag group of anti-athletic friends decide to get even. They are going to start a rebel JV soccer team whose mission is to avoid victory at any cost, setting out to secretly undermine the jock culture of the school. But as the teams losing formula becomes increasingly successful at attracting fans and attention, Jack and his teammates are winning in ways they never expected and dont know how to handle. Losers Take All by David Klass is a fresh and funny novel that throws out all the rules of high school sports. After all, if you cant win the game, change the rules. Review Klass creates an uproarious soccer spectacle thats fun to imagine, but its the message behind this underdog team, one of acceptance and forgiveness, that will stick with readers after the Losers play their final heroic game. Publishers Weekly The depiction of jock culture at Muscles High is disturbingly accurate, and Jacks and Beccas familial struggles are well-played. There is a lot to like here: humor, social commentary, and what it means to be a winner.
