I have noticed a few things that are the same in Jerry Spinelli. One of those things are that are the same are in both Crash and Loser there are both kids who don’t fit in. I Crash Penn is described as a nerd who is all happy and perky. In Loser Zinkoff is a person who is not noticed, but when you keep reading he gets noticed. People notice he is clumbsey and a Loser. For example is Crash Penn Webb tries out for cheer leading. In Loser Zinkoff always was throw up also he laughed at almost anything. Jerry Spinelli connects almost all the books he publishes.
