How to Eat Fried Worms

Blurb

How to Eat Fried Worms is the title of a children's book written by Thomas Rockwell, first published in 1973. It was later turned into a CBS Storybreak episode in the mid-1980s, and a movie of the same name in 2006. Because the novel's content—the idea of eating worms as part of a bet—is thought to be disgusting by some, it has been the frequent target of censors and appears on the American Library Association's list of most commonly challenged books in the United States of 1990-2000 at number 96.
The story continues in two sequels: How to Fight a Girl and How to Get Fabulously Rich.
