Dear Thomas Rockwell,

The book How to Eat Fried Worms changed my thinking of eating worms and different foods put together. I have also changed my thinking about bets. At the end of the story I thought Billy was going to loose the bet!

 I am first going to tell you about putting foods together. Like now, I might put Mexican food and Chinese food together, or cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, Snickers, Sour Strings, and Gummy Worms all together.

Since I changed my way of thinking about eating worms I might as well tell you. I might eat a worm today, boiled or fried. It might be a weird taste and my family might be grossed out, but it’s worth it.

My favorite part in the book How to Eat Fried Worms was the first worm that Billy ate. He was so afraid, and I was scared that he might get sick!

Please pick me for one of the three fifty dollar winners!

Your Friend,
