Thomas Rockwell, How to Eat Fried Worms, is a wonderful book for children ages 6 to 13. The author shows the reader that making bets with others shows what crazy things you can get yourself into. Billy, the main character of the book, makes a bet for $50.00 with his friend Alan to eat 15 worms in 15 days as long as he can cook them whatever way he wants. Billy wanted the money so he can buy his cousin’s mini bike. During the bet Alan tries tricking Billy into not eating the worms or forgetting to eat one so he can win the bet. As the story continues, Alan stops trying to trick Billy into not eating the worms. Billy wins and then buys his cousin mini bike.
