The Loser List

Seventh-grader Danny Shine and his best friend, Jasper aren't usually invited to sit at the cool kids' table and they aren't total geeks either. They have a reserved place somewhere in between or at least they did until the day in the cafeteria when Danny accidentally started a food fight. We're talking burritos in the air here people. Now Danny made a quick move with a huge container of secret sauce and ended up spraying it all over Axl, the biggest bully known to mankind, at least all the mankind at this middle school. You need to know Danny's not a bad kid...he was actually trying to defend and protect the lovely Asia O'Neill, aka the girl of his dreams. Things didn't go as planned and Danny ended up with a week of detention along with the dangerous Axl and the rest of his Skull Gang. Will Danny live until Friday? Can his talent for drawing tattoos save his life? Is he doomed to a future of crime courtesy of his new detention comrades? Does who you hang around with make a difference in your future? 224 pages Ages 8-12
