S.O.R. Losers is a humorous book about a group of intelligent and talented, but non-athletic, seventh grade boys who are required to participate on a soccer team at their sports-minded school. The boys on the losing team are viewed by parents and school administration as rebellious and are frowned upon because of their "bad" attitudes. What's wrong with accepting the fact that you stink at sports anyway? Avi portrays realistic characters and a humorous style of writing in this book, making it a good read for all ages! (And for those curious Avi fans, you'll find his last name spelled backwards in this book!)

Want to teach the concept of imagery and simile to your students with fun and laughter? Then, this is the book for you. Avi creates loveable characters we can all identify with, no matter our age. When the "royal" blue jerseys of the "Buckingham" team appear on the well-groomed soccer field, the reader has a good idea as to what will happen to the S.O.R. 7th grade misfits dressed in red and yellow clown colors! But, will this rag-tag team ever win a game?

Title; S.O.R. Loser
By: Aaron
Have you ever been forced to playa sport? If so S.O. R Loser by Avi is the perfect book for you. A young man named Sitrow loves school but hates sports. he has to see his way through playing soccer. The kid named Sitrow was going to pick a sport for the school team but he missed baseball, basketball, tennis and football. The only thing is left is soccer. The only thing he hates about the school rules are that you must play one sport a year. His coach Mr. Lesster (also the social studies the teachers) push the team through their unlucky year.
Their parents are behind them all the way.
They had practice a couple days later. They really needed help. They could not even score on their own goal. When Sitrow gets home he starts complaining at dinner about how stupid that soccer is. The parents don't care they think that some exercise is good for the smart young man. The next day when he enters his 8th period which is Social Studies and which Mr. Lesster is the teacher. Mr. lesster announces that they are going out side to practice soccer.
They had a practice, a week from that day and their 1st game and it was bad 32-0. The coach was mad but he knew that it was only the first game. The next 4 games they lost. Now he whole school was cheering for them to win. The principal was telling them that the soccer team never lost. Will they keep losing or will the come back and be victorious.

This book S.O.R. Losers by Avi was about a school that is really big on sports and famous for not losing a single game all season. That all changes when some seventh grader non-jocks form a soccer team. Their new team is terrible. Their parents and the school cheer them on and insist that they do better. The crowd's cheers really helped them do a lot better than they were doing.
I would recommend this book because it shows how much people have confidence within themselves. Why I would also recommend this book is because it was written by Avi, he is a great guy and writes great books.

I think that this book is a good book for the soccer players that aren't very good at soccer but actually plays soccer. I don't think people that are losers should get too worked up on how their playing. This is a good book, I really enjoyed reading this book. I think people who like sports but don't think that they are good should read this book and see how these soccer players act an how they play.

I bought this for my 11 year old because it was one of 5 books on his required reading list for summer vacation. He actually read it and told me what a great book it was. He recommended it to one of his friends and told him that it was a great book.

This book is about 7th grade boys who were modern misfits. They went to a school where sports ruled, but they didn't like sports, knew they weren't good and didn't care. They were all forced to join the same soccer team and play other schools. Read about their losing streak and their battle with the school. Full of sardonic witticisms.

I think you should read this book. This book is very humorous. The author does an exellent job with advetives. I reccomend this book and anything else by Betsy Byars!
