"Twerp" by Mark Goldblatt is a coming-of-age story set in the 1970s, centered around Julian, a seventh-grader navigating the complexities of adolescence. After a prank goes awry, Julian is tasked with writing about the incident, leading him to reflect on his friendships, family dynamics, and the challenges of growing up. As he grapples with feelings of shame and vulnerability, Julian's journey explores themes of identity, redemption, and the repercussions of his actions. The narrative captures the rich tapestry of middle school life, weaving humor with poignant moments that resonate with anyone who has ever faced the trials of youth.
