But he knows he can do better. So he really needs that prize money. Master talent Pete Hautman has cooked up a rich narrative shot through with equal parts humor and tenderness, and the result is a middle-grade novel too delicious to put down. Jack-of-all-genres Hautman turns to the mouthwatering, madcap world of competitive eating…With crystalline prose, delectable detail, rip-roaring humor, and larger-than-life characters, Hautman gracefully examines what it means to be a friend, a family member, and, through it all, a kid trying to do the right thing.
Though the premise of scarfing down pizzas seems silly, this is ultimately a meaningful book with insight into having a sibling with special needs and the general ups and downs that come with being a teenager.
A fantastically funny, relatable book that will be an easy sell and a rewarding read for most middle graders. Even if they take a pass on pizza and burgers for a couple of days.
