by Mark Goldblatt.
In Queens, New York, in 1969, twelve-year-old Julian Twerski writes a journal for his English teacher in which he explores his friendships and how they are affected by girls, a new student who may be as fast as Julian, and especially an incident of bullying.
Twerp was a great book.
What makes it better than a book that is just good? — Kate Davie
I really loved this book and it was a fascinating book with lots of funny excitements. I hope that everyone in the world would be able to read twerp and love it like I do. What I really would like to say is that the book was great and that I will read it over and over!
I love this book this is AMAZING!!!! I think that I saw someone said that there is a second one and I am SO EXCITED!!!!! It is not only my favorite dcf book but my favorite BOOK too. I definitely recommend this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was kind of confusing it was long their was some sad parts in their and some good parts in their. I recommend reading this book.
And I also hope that people can read the second one
Twerp was a very funny and hope that other people who haven’t read it can read it.
We liked this book because of it being set in 1969 and we were intrigued about the character Lonnie. The couch was a metaphor for Twerp’s character.
Why do you find 1969 so appealing? Not that I’m arguing, I liked it pretty well. — Kate Davie
I really enjoyed this book. Just wanting to know what Julian did kept me reading and reading. I really enjoyed the character in the book too. My favorite person was probably Eduardo. He was kind and always wise in my perspective.
I loved this story. Julian was a great character to have this book be based on. After I got about 15 pages in I couldn’t put it down. I finished it quickly sad that there wasn’t a sequel. I would recommend this book to people who like to read about boys who get into trouble and do the things people wish they could do. It is a book for people who like to read about dare devils.
Tell me more about this book? It looks good .
Well, we could, but maybe you should be brave and find a copy and read it. Then you wouldn’t have to depend on our opinions! — Kate Davie
I just got this book Tuesday and I am already almost at page 100. It is very interesting and is already making my favorite book list. I would totally recommend this book to anyone. Especially thoses people who are trying to read five DCF books, so they can vote.
I think that this book is more appropriate for boys becouse the type of language and the way they talk about girls, had me feeling out of place.
Ooh, that’s an interesting observation! Would anyone else like to weigh in on this issue? — Kate Davie
when people got hurt that was funny.I liked it.
Hmmm. I don’t think that was the author’s intent, but every reader views every book differently. Kate Davie

You could ask your librarian, or you could read the jacket flap, but I would recommend that you read the first few pages and see if you can tell! Kate Davie

I loved Twerp! It was fun, funny, and thought-provoking. Provided an excellent moral lesson that boys and girls could learn from.
“Funny” with “thought-provoking” is one of my favorite combinations of descriptors! Kate Davie
