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?
