Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I am reading through a list of banned books. I honestly have no clue why this one would ever be on the list. It's a cute story of boys in the 1970s/ 80s behaving like stereotypical boys did in those days. They make a nearly impossible bet with one another and engage in prepubescent shenanigans to make the others lose. It's a bit fantastical in some of the scenes, but what else do preteen boys like more than anything? I'd say believing they are ten feet tall and bulletproof tops the list. #readbannedbooks #banbookbanning sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

This is almost a classic of children’s literature, having first been published in 1973. Billy and Alan make a bet: if Billy can eat fifteen worms in fifteen days, Alan will pay him $50.00. That’s motivation enough for Billy to get over his initial disgust. Of course, coating the worms in cornmeal, frying them in butter and covering them in various condiments helps him get them down.
I’m sure it appeals to the target audience of 8-to-11-year-old boys. I found it repetitive and ridiculous, but I am far from the target audience.
Apparently there is also a film of this book. The book includes some “recipes” (none of which use actual worms). ( )
