  <default_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 &quot;The bigger and juicier, the better!&quot; 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.


From the Paperback edition.

    <body><![CDATA[This was one of my favourite books when I was little. It's about four boys, two of whom have a bet. Alan bets Billy $50 that he couldn't eat 15 worms over 15 days and the story follows them throughout the tricks and attempts made by Alan and his offsider to try and dissuade Billy from eating the wor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43805268">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My teacher read this to the class in like second grade. I then read it for a second time (to see if it was really as gross as I remembered it to be) and decided that it really isn't that bad. Did I love it? No. I found some parts funny, other parts slow. Maybe I would relate to the book better if I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63167689">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I listened to this book with Ian and Aiden in the car--and then it was so well liked that I got the &quot;privilege&quot; of listening to it another 2, or 3 more times.  Ian gives the book a 5 by the way.  I will say that I did really enjoy it the first time or two.  It was a fun read and a silly st...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43815050">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very disgusting, and daring book. In it a boy gets dared to eat worms how ever the other boy makes them/cooks them. He microwaves one, mixes one in an omlet, and even mixes one with totaly random stuff. Read this book and find out if the boy can eat 8 worms, or else he might loose his bet!...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52344100">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book when I was about in the 3rd or 4th grade and really liked it. Kind of gross in parts, but when you are a kid you are totally into it. Remember? Anyway, currently re-reading; my 2nd grader and I take turns reading it to my 6 year old. (all 3 of my kids LOVE the movie!)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Been awhile but I remember this being a fun read as a kid. I tried watching a bit of the recent film version--couldn't stand it. It was disgusting to watch. But reading the book, I remember getting hooked into the contest and not being too freaked out by the worm-eating. It's a great story, colorful...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62349372">more...</a>]]></body>
