The narrator of the young adult novel, Twerp, was very engaging, and believable. I enjoyed the plot as well, but did feel the character of Eduardo was at times unbelievable. He seemed much older than 5th grade, which was explained at one point (he is actually 14), but even at that he was still slightly too knowledgeable and "all knowing"
The premise, that the narrator is writing a book in lieu of studying assigned books in his English class, worked very well. The teacher is also hoping the narrator, will deal with a bad situation that he hasn't fully dealt with. The supporting characters are likeable and believable as well.
I will encourage my staff, and students to purchase this book.
