PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
<b>David Klass</b> is an acclaimed screenwriter and the author of many popular YA novels, including <i>You Don't Know Me</i>, <i>Grandmaster</i>, and <i>Second Impact</i>, which was co-written with his sister, Perri Klass. He lives in New York City.
Klass creates an uproarious soccer spectacle that's fun to imagine, but it's the message behind this underdog team, one of acceptance and forgiveness, that will stick with readers after the Losers play their final heroic game. Publishers Weekly The depiction of jock culture at 'Muscles' High is disturbingly accurate, and Jack's and Becca's familial struggles are well-played. There is a lot to like here: humor, social commentary, and what it means to be a winner. Kirkus Reviews
