Slider

"I never knew a book about competitive eating could be so charming, funny – and descriptive. When David, a high school freshman, accidentally buys a $2,000 half-eaten hot dog, he must win a pizza-eating contest to pay for it. Oh, and he’s also put in charge of taking care of his autistic younger brother for the summer. With its hysterical twists and turns, and heartfelt family struggles and triumphs, you will devour Pete Hautman’s Slider. (For ages 10 to 14)"
