The Barry Losers series of books, written by Jim Smith, is the tenth volume in the Barry series, characterized by slapstick humor and absurd situations. It is aimed at readers aged 7 to 10 years, and features characters that are fan favorites from other Diaries of Wimpy Kids and Daily Planet writer Tom Gates titles.
Barry is shunned by a football team he joins, named the Mogden Maggots, after he scores zero goals in a game. His best friend, Bunk, is a goal scoring superstar, and the pair set up a team around him, the Brat Boy Boosters. However, when Barry fails to get in his long-term goal-keeper position, the boys must take a heartbreaking journey to save their team and catch a big game against Bunk's nemesis, his teammate Kevin. Along the way, they suffer both verbal and physical abuse, which fortunately all ends well in the end.
The novel is accompanied by plenty of fantastical adventures, including a superhero neighbor, an infected rabbit, and a trapdoor landlord. Though they appear to be illogical, all of the fantastical elements make sense when read within the confines of the absurd world of Barry's imagination. Ultimately, the novel promotes as life lessons, describing a variety of social situations and giving some life advice. Barry shows us how to play through rough patches and that sometimes nothing can stop a kidnapper from being rescued if you are willing to go all-out to help your friends.
The tenth book in brilliant award-winning Barry Loser series. Perfect for readers aged 7 - 10 and Tom Gates, Dennis the Menace and Pamela Butt's fans. Everyone's favourite Loser is ALWAYS the loser, so everything is always going (badly!) wrong for Barry during his new-to-him career as Bunksy's (his best friend's) football club manager. Barry has to keep his wits about him against his henchmen and rival managers, and he's put front and centre for a community effort to defeat a local rival team - they need Barry as much as Barry needs them to secure the cup. Join Barry in series' titular humour, fun and Twitterable moments - because unless Barry hits all of these targets, the big game is doomed.
