Billy takes the bet and tries worms smothered in ketchup, drowned in mustard, even breaded and fried.Worm by worm, Billy gets closer to victory, and to buying the minibike he's always wanted. But Alan won't let him win that easily...

Critical Reviews
* "The clear writing, clever illustrations, and revolting subject matter are sure to make a hit." -- School Library Journal, starred review"A hilarious story that will revolt and delight....Colorful, original writing in a much-needed comic vein." -- Booklist"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." -- Kirkus Reviews
