    I recall this book from when I was a boy. It must have been a new book back then. What marveled us was the brevity of the chapters. Forty-one chapters in 116 pages!

    I rekindled my interest this past year reading it with a few of my reading books. Despite the 2.6 RL listed on the book, this is more of a fourth/fifth grade reading level. I think Fountas has it as a sixth grade book.

    Wonderful story about a dare and what a boy will do. From what I understand, the movie changed the bet significantly.

    Lots of dialogue.

A perennial kids' favorite since its first publication in 1973, How to Eat Fried Worms is the story of Billy, who, because of a bet, is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is, unfortunately, "The bigger and juicier, the better!"
