Jerry Spinelli first became a published author at the age of 16, when his town newspaper published his poem about the local football team. His first book for children, SPACE STATION SEVENTH GRADE, was published in 1982. In 1990, Spinelli won both the Newbery Medal and the Boston Globe Horn Book Award for his novel MANIAC MAGEE.
I actually find this an extremely interesting book to read - which reaches the younger audience due to its tone, language and story and to people of all age with the profound message that "no one is really a loser/winner in totality - it is just how we chose to see and accept them"
