TWERP
by Mark Goldblatt

A good kid.
A bad mistake.
An unforgettable story...

Inspired by Mark Goldblatt's own childhood growing up in 1960s Queens, Twerp shines with humor and heart.
This remarkably powerful story will have readers laughing and crying right along with these flawed but unforgettable characters.

It's NOT like I meant for him to get hurt...

Julian Twerski isn't a bully. He's just made a bad mistake. So when he returns to school after a weeklong suspension, his English teacher offers him a deal: if he keeps a journal and writes about the terrible incident that got him and his friends suspended, he can get out of a report on Shakespeare. Julian jumps at the chance, and so begins his account of life in sixth grade-blowing up homemade fireworks, writing a love letter for his best friend (with disastrous results), and worrying whether he's still the fastest kid in school. But lurking in the background is the one story he can't bring himself to tell, the one story his teacher most wants to hear.

"A vivid, absorbing story about one boy's misadventure, heartache, and hope for himself.- Rebecca Stead, Newbery Award-winning author of When You Reach Me
"Mark Goldblatt is an amazingly wonderful writer." - Chris Grabenste'n, New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
