A team built to lose

At a sports-focused New Jersey high school, a rule requiring every student to join a team prompts Jack Logan and his nonathletic friends to form a rebel junior varsity soccer squad. Their plan is to challenge the school’s jock culture by avoiding victories, but the team’s growing audience complicates what they set out to do. The setup brings together school sports, friendship, and questions about how competition and popularity shape a high-school community. The soccer team’s deliberate resistance gives the novel a playful premise while centering the social rules surrounding school athletics.

Book overview

At Jack Logan's sports-crazy New Jersey high school, the new rule is that all kids must play on a team. So Jack and a ragtag group of anti-athletic friends decide to get even. They are going to start a rebel JV soccer team whose mission is to avoid victory at any cost, setting out to secretly undermine the jock culture of the school. But as the team's losing formula becomes increasingly successful at attracting fans and attention, Jack and his teammates are winning in ways they never expected--and don't know how to handle.

Losers Take All by David Klass is a fresh and funny novel that throws out all the rules of high school sports. After all, if you can't win the game, change the rules.
