Description
Set in 1970s Queens, this coming-of-age story follows Julian Twerski as he navigates the pressures of seventh grade—punishment for a wrongdoing he didn’t commit, the complicated ache of first love, and the looming responsibilities of his bar mitzvah. As Julian tries to make sense of his friend Quentin’s serious illness, he also confronts the ways fear, loyalty, and hope can shape the stories we tell ourselves. Blending humor with tenderness, the novel explores themes of justice, identity, and resilience within a close-knit community. Mark Goldblatt’s accessible, emotionally grounded style captures the small moments that become turning points, offering a heartfelt portrait of growing up when life refuses to stay simple.
