Description
From renowned Newbery-winning author Jerry Spinelli comes a powerful story about how not fitting in just might lead to an incredible life. This classic book is perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Carl Hiaasen.
Just like other kids, Zinkoff rides his bike, hopes for snow days, and wants to be like his dad when he grows up. But Zinkoff also raises his hand with all the wrong answers, trips over his own feet, and falls down with laughter over a word like Jabip.
Other kids have their own word to describe him, but Zinkoff is too busy to hear it. He doesnt know hes not like everyone else. And one winter night, Zinkoffs differences show that any name can someday become hero.
With some of his finest writing to date and great wit and humor, Jerry Spinelli creates a story about a boys individuality surpassing the need to fit in and the genuine importance of failure. As readers follow Zinkoff from first through sixth grade, it becomes impossible not to identify with and root for him through failures and triumphs.
The perfect classroom read.
