Joe and Alan's plan to get revenge on Billy backfires when their secret weapon, the prettiest girl in their fifth grade class, becomes Billy's friend instead.

Stories, poems, and nonsense for all moods and conditions.

On his first day at a new school, eleven-year-old Billy goes up against the school bully in a challenge that ends up with a total gross-out date ... to eat 10 worms in one day. As the pressure mounts, Billy must summon all his strength to meet the dare, all the while keeping his weak stomach from betraying him and his big mouth from getting him in even more trouble.
