A Funny, Easy Read

Alex Sherwood and his friends Winston and Manny are tired of being pushed around by the school bully, Jerry Whitman. So they form The Loser's Club, a haven for other popularity challenged kids from their high school. It started off as a place to hang out and let off steam from being constantly tormented, humiliated and mugged. But it ended up as a place to fight for the rights and self esteem of losers everywhere, through the unlikely venue of a Christmas lights display competition. They face off against Whitman, with the help of Julie Spenser (hobbies? "brooding"), a rare girl who has befriended Alex. The ending is predictable, but it doesn't matter because it's what you want to happen. I think this book would make a great movie. It's got lovable guys, great humour and a winning candid style. Thumbs up!
