Anybody Need a Writer?
Spinelli shares what the Newbery Medal meant to her. He wanted readers. He craved them, ached for them. They were the soil for his seed, flame for his bellows.

Loser
[Jerry Spinelli Harper Collins]'s novel Loser is a touching story about what truly matters in life. His main character, Danny Zinkoff, is a most unusual hero. He is not athletic, not successful in school and has no dose relationships with his peers. He is laughed at and thought of as simply \"odd\". He is very much a stereotypical loser to all the students in his school. Danny, however, is unaffected by this. He sees the world and his place in it with childlike innocence.
