Twerp is an important book!

Review by Jack

This book makes you ask if going along with a bully's ideas makes you a bully too. It was hard to read about the bullying of people and animals. I would recommend this book to people who stand up for other people.

Great for all ages

Review by SydPurple

This book was super good. It gets very emotional especially towards the end. The characters make mistakes but it all worked out in the end.

Parent Guide

Julian is a nice kid who's made a big mistake. As part of his punishment, he has to write a journal about what happened. Julian avoids the issue for as long as he can, instead writing in composition notebook after composition notebook about his ill-fated escapades, including his fear that the new boy in school will usurp his title of fastest runner in sixth grade, and his attempt to play cupid for his best friend, Lonnie. A fresh, funny, moving, and realistic picture of a close-knit group of Jewish friends in 1969 Queens, New York.
