About the book
David can eat an entire sixteen-inch pepperoni pizza in four minutes and thirty-six seconds. Not bad. But he knows he can do better. In fact, he ll have to do better: he s going to compete in the Super Pigorino Bowl, the world s greatest pizza-eating contest, and he has to win it, because he borrowed his mom s credit card and accidentally spent $2,000 on it. So he really needs that prize money. Like, yesterday. As if training to be a competitive eater weren t enough, he s also got to keep an eye on his little brother, Mal (who, if the family believed in labels, would be labeled autistic, but they don t, so they just label him Mal). And don t even get started on the new weirdness going on between his two best friends, Cyn and HeyMan.
