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.

Pretty good

Review by epm1212

I enjoyed this book but it’s kind of hard to follow along with and I didn’t find it that interesting.

My favorite book

Review by Ilanajs

This is my favorite book right now. The first time I read it I literally couldn’t put it down. I even read through all my meals.

Twerp Review

Review by BH30

Twerp is one of the best books that I’ve read so far. There is so much action and I love that the point of view is Julian’s

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.
