Finding the Worm (Twerp Sequel)

Finding the Worm (Twerp Sequel)

The New York Post praised Twerp as â€œreminiscent of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.â€ Finding the Worm is a sequel that stands on its own--an unforgettable coming-of-age story about life, loss, and friendship. Perfect for fans of The Sandlot and readers who love books by Jennifer L. Holm, Andrew Clements, and Rebecca Stead.
Â
Itâ€™s not a test unless you can fail. . . .
Â
Trouble always seems to find thirteen-year-old Julian Twerski. First it was a bullying incident, and now heâ€™s been accused of vandalizing a painting. The principal doesnâ€™t want to suspend him again, so instead, he asks Julian to write a 200-word essay on good citizenship. Julian writes 200 noâ€™s instead, and so begins an epic struggle between Julian and his principal.
Â
Being falsely accused is bad enough, but outside of school, Julianâ€™s dealing with even bigger issues. His friend Quentin has been really sick. How can life be fair when the nicest guy in your group has cancer? Julianâ€™s faith and friendships are put to the test . . . and the stakes have never been higher.
