Description
Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is "The bigger and juicier, the better!" At first Billy's problem is whether or not he can swallow the worm placed before him, even with a choice of condiments from peanut butter to horseradish. But later it looks as if Billy will win, and the challenge becomes getting to the worm to eat it. Billy's family, after checking with the doctor, takes everything in stride. They even help Billy through his gastronomic ordeal, which twists and turns with each new day, leaving the outcome of the bet continually in doubt.

- content: "The clear writing, clever illustrations, and revolting subject matter are sure to make a hit with many middle-grade readers."
- premium: False
- source: Booklist
- content: "A hilarious story that will revolt and delight. . . . The chapters march briefly and irresistibly on, worm by worm. The characters and their families and activities are natural to a T, and this, juxtaposed against the uncommon plot, makes for some colorful, original writing in a much-needed comic vein."

- content: "Rockwell's sensibilities (if that's the word) are so uncannily close to those of the average ten-year-old boy that one begins to admire Billy as a really sharp operator."

- content: What would you do for fifty dollars? Billy would buy the minibike he's been dreaming of. What's more, Alan knows Billy can't resist a bet, no matter how revolting. Rockwell's text is enhanced by musical interludes that range from folksy guitar strains at transitional points to mysterious and accelerated strumming that adds suspense. Sanders's youthful vocalizations give individual personalities to each of the boys in a presentation that will delight both children and adults. B.L.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
