How to Eat Fried Worms

Written by Thomas Rockwell

Billy has just made the grossest bet of his life: eat fifteen worms in fifteen days and win fifty dollars. With ketchup, mustard, and a whole lot of determination, he might just pull it off, but his friends will do anything to make sure he fails. Can Billy stomach every last worm, or will he chicken out before the final day?
