This sequel to Twerp stands on its own–Julian returns to tell another unforgettable coming-of-age story about life, loss, and friendship. Think Dead End in Norvelt meets The Sandlot.

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?

Movingly depicts a steadfast friendship… . Outstanding. –Kirkus Reviews, Starred
