A fresh, funny, moving, and realistic picture of a close-knit group of Jewish friends in 1969 Queens, New York.

Twerp is an important book!
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.
