The Loser List by H. N. Kowitt

Flipping through this book it will remind you of a Diary of Wimpy Kid book. The pages are sprinkled with the drawings of the twelve-year old narrator and the lined notebook paper gives the impression of a composition book. I read the first Wimpy kid book and I must say I enjoyed this book much more. The story started out with a problem (Danny had a crush on a certain girl), it got more complicated (he was put on a loser list), he gets in trouble (of course, the conflict) and before he finds a neat and tidy way out, his problem becomes more complicated. The story moved at a fast pace and with all the pictures, it was a very quick book.
