Loser’s Bracket: When a family argument turns into an urgent hunt for a missing child, high school senior Annie must do everything in her power to bring her nephew home safely. From the acclaimed and bestselling author of Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, this provocative book about family, loss, and loyalty is for fans of Jason Reynolds, John Corey Whaley, and Matt de la Peña.
When it comes to family, Annie is in the losers bracket. While her foster parents are great (mostly), her birth mom, Nancy, and her sister, Sheila, would not have been her first picks. And no matter how many times Annie tries to write them out of her life, she always gets sucked back into their drama. But when a family argument breaks out at one of Annie’s swim meets and her nephew goes missing, Annie can’t help but think this is her fault.
With help from her friends, her foster brother, and her social service worker, Annie searches desperately for her missing nephew, determined to find him and finally get him into a safe home.
