What a silly reason for wanting to ban a book. I swear... people are really ridiculous sometimes. Anyhow, I might have to read it! I really loved the film and now I'm actually thinking of watching it again kids movies are so great :) I haven’t read the book, but I’ve seen the movie and I absolutely loved it!

It's one of my old books that I rescued from my parents house after threats that I hadn't lived there in 10 years, my stuff should not still be there. :) Banning because eating worms is socially unacceptable?? Okay make sure we ban Fear Factor. That show has made me want to vomit more than once. Social taunting a reason for banning a book? Isn't the whole 7-14 (maybe older for boys) age all about social taunting? The movie is a bit off from the book...my kids didn't care for it. I thought it was okay.

Who would ever want to eat worms after reading this book? Gross me out! Not at all! But it sure sounds like a funny book for kids- to see the consequences of someone trying to carry out that dare.

When my own kids seemed interested (probably because of the movie) I searched and searched for my book and couldn't find it anywhere! It makes me sad that that beat up, well-loved old thing appears to be lost. Ah, well. Maybe it will turn up one of these days. This was one of my favorite books as a kid.

It was awesome . . . and we had to write earthworm stories afterward. Worms showed up in my stories for years. I remember reading this for school.
