I can totally relate to this book. I want to read instead of doing everything else! I thought it was funny that he thought nobody would want to join the Losers Club, but they did! It goes to show that you might think you're alone, but you're not.

The beloved New York Times bestselling author of the modern classic Frindle celebrates books and the joy of reading with a new school story to love!
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 favorite books, but it’s just as interesting.
With 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!

This was like all of Clements other books to me very good. Though I have to admit it is very different than all of Clement's other books.
When I started this book I didn't think it would be very good. Let me just say, I was wrong. This is a very sweet book, where a middle schooler starts a new club and makes many new and old friends.
This book was decent enough for me. At some points I got very sucked into the story and didn't want to stop reading it at some points. Some parts weren't as cool, but I still think it was pretty okay.
The Losers Club title already has me wondering and curious, what is this book about. I mean, what happened to these kids that made them to be the Losers club. This book is rated 5 stars, so I am interested in trying a new, different book out and seeing how this odd club fixes whatever problem they have. Hopefully, the solution is finally being called something, other that "the losers". I am really excited to start reading.
The Losers Club is a boy that makes this club at the after school program because he wants to read his book in peace and thats when the trouble starts.
Alec loves to read, but he reads books in his classroom instead of paying attention, but when the principal says that if he's caught reading in a class, he'll be sent to summer school. He starts an after school reading club so that he can just read, but when more and more people want to join, he doesn't know what to do, especially when the school bully joins. This was a great book, and I would absolutely recommend it.
The Loser's Club by Andrew Clements is a very enjoyable read I love seeing the different books the kids were reading. I also was really excited to read another book by Andrew Clements.

The preview looks nice.. but what I don't like is how he ALWAYS reads his books no matter how many times the teacher/guardian/ or any responsible grown up has told him. To be a book worm you don't have to constantly read a book 24/7. Sometimes you can just lay on your bed while reading a good book.
Sixth grader Alec just doesn't want to put down his really good book. But when it becomes a problem that the principal has to know about, he decides to act upon it. If you want to find out how he acts upon his problem read this book. It is a great book and I love it!
