Publisher Description: The New York Post praised Twerp as "reminiscent of The Perks of Being a Wallflower." 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. It's not a test unless you can fail Trouble always seems to find thirteen-year-old Julian Twerski. He's being framed for something he didn't do, has insulted the girl he likes, and is trying to help a friend with cancer. He has some tough choices ahead, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Sometimes life just isn't fair. But fair or not, the real question is: Will Julian be able to fix things? Praise for Finding the Worm "Movingly depicts a steadfast friendship. . . . Outstanding." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred "Mark Goldblatt writes with humor and heart--his words stick with you like a best friend." --Chris Grabenstein, New York Times bestselling author "Difficult questions about life and death are explored, offering no easy answers. Fans of Twerp will delight in this new tale of friendship with a touch of baseball." --Booklist "An excellent companion to Twerp, this novel also stands alone." --School Library Journal |
