In his senior year, forced at every track meet to face the hatred of strangers who think he killed a little girl and got away with it, Matt McKendrick is determined to earn the Runner of the Year Award and to prove that no matter what they do, they can't make him quit. His strongest rival is a black athlete as outstanding as he is. Only one of them can win the award, and only one does.
Losers and Winners is the third book in the series.
Anyone who's ever suffered at the hands of their classmates in high school can relate to the story of Matt McKendrick, whose experience is ten times worse. Forced to brave people who believe that he murdered his little sister Katie, Matt struggles to regain some kind of life, and to regain his position as a winning runner. His friends, Meg and Will Schuyler, and their younger siblings Lew and Carey, provide a wonderfully comedic and supportive outlet to Matt's insecurities and pain. Matt's foster family is also very realistic, providing more humor and dimension to Matt's life. You'll definitely want to read the other three books in this series!
Love the series!

This is the fourth of in the series about Matthew Mckendrick. It is a wonderful story that is very well written. I have read it several times and never get tired of reading it. It is a nice ending for this series to see the changes in the main character and some resolution to the cries in his life.
