""Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. A hilarious story that will revolt and delight bumptious, unreachable intermediate-grade boys and any other less particular mortals that read or listen to it.... Colorful, original writing in a much-needed comic vein.""--Booklist.

A daring young boy accepts a bet involving some wormy work in this award-winning, live-action feature, based on the book by Thomas Rockwell. On the first day at a new school, fifth grader Billy goes up against the school bully and ends up accepting a dare to eat some worms. With each worm he eats, Billy moves closer to shifting the balance of power within the class. Rated PG for mild bullying and some crude humor, the film stars James Rebhorn, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Tom Cavanagh.
