What I Think of "How To Eat Fried Worms"

I recently read the book "How To Eat Fried Worms." It was hilarious, interesting, and gross - all at the same time! I highly recommend it to children (especially boys) who are in second or third grade. The story is about a boy named Billy Forrester who accepted a bet with his friends, Alan Phelps and Joseph O' Hara. The bet was that Billy had to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days or he would have to pay them $50.00. Alan and Joe provided the worms. Billy ate them boiled, raw, and fried.
I think the characters and the whole story were very believable. It is very possible for four boys to have a bet about eating fifteen worms in fifteen days. I really loved the way the story ended! I was very relieved.
My favorite part was when Billy and Tom fantasized about what they would do if they had a minibike and the opportunity to do crazy and unrealistic tricks with it. Another part I liked was when Tom and his friend made up a rhyme together.
Personally, I thought that "How to Eat Fried Worms" was very simple to read. Well, to compare, I am reading "Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix" right now in 3rd grade, and I think that book is easy. I think many readers would enjoy "How to Eat Fried Worms." Also, the author, Thomas Rockwell, is very talented and uses good detail in the right places.
If you want to, you can go to your local bookstore or library and get "How to Eat Fried Worms." They also made a movie based on the book, but the story is very different. For instance, one character's name is "Tom" in the book and "Adam" in the movie. Another change is that, in the movie, the bet was very different from the one in the book. He still had to eat worms, but a smaller amount and over a shorter period of time.
If I were you, I would get the book. All I am saying is that this is an interesting and fun book and will bring you and your family lots of laughs.

Would You Eat Worms for $50?

It all began when Alan bet Billy $50 that he couldn't eat fifteen worms. They could be cooked or fixed anyway he wanted, with ketchup or mustard. It was only one a day, not all fifteen at once. With that $50 Billy could buy a mini-bike. Tom and Joe were in on the bet, just to make sure everything was done fairly.
The story is lots of fun, as Billy obsesses about eating the worms. Alan does everything he can to make it harder. This book was always a hit when I booktalked it to the school classes.

How To Eat Fried Worms

All because of a bet with a kid named Joe Billy will have to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days, in the book How To Eat Fried Worms. If Billy loses the bet he will have to pay Joe fifty dollars but if Billy wins the bet Joe will have to pay Billy fifty dollars for a minibike that he's always wanted. When Billy first made the bet he said the BIGGER the worms the juicer the better. I can assure you that is how Joe made them BIG and juice. At first Billy had a lot of trouble swallowing the worms especially with the extra condiments like peanut butter and horseradish. Now that Billy has gotten use to the extra condiments he might actually have a chance of win the fifty dollars and a minibike. Billy's parents found out soon enough that Billy was eating worms and they called the doctor immediately but the doctor didn't seem to have a problem with it. Billy kept eating worms to finish off the bet, but the question is will he win the fifty dollars and a minibike or did he eat all those worms for nothing?
Even though this book was an easy read it was worth the while and hard to put it down at some parts. I would recommend this book for a fun read but I would defiantly read it again for fun.
Thomas Rockwell wrote How To Eat Fried Worms an Exiting and fun eventful book.
