Competitive eating vies with family expectations in a funny, heartfelt novel for middle-grade readers by National Book Award winner Pete Hautman.

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 put $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. Master talent Pete Hautman has whipped 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.

This book is about a boy who accidently used his mom's credit card and is forced to enter a pizza eating contest to win back the money. The main character has always had a interest in competitive eating and has a big appetite. This story is targeted towards intermediate grade students. ( )

Excellent book about family and being the sibling of a disabled brother or sister. David is the middle child. His sister is brilliant and at college and his younger brother is severely autistic. It seems to David that his only role in life is to give his mother a break from caring for his little brother. He had two best mates - a girl and a boy - who suddenly seem to like each other and he feels like the third wheel. On top of that, he has had a massive fail on an e-bay like site and now secretly owes his mother $2000 on her credit card instead of $20. The only thing David seems to be good at is competitive eating and in an effort to win the money back for his mother he enters the shady world of the all-you-can-eat speed eating contests. A great coming-of-age story about family and the challenges faced by siblings of children that seem to demand ALL their parents' attention. Funny and poignant in places, this was a very engaging read from the first page until the last. ( )

David also cares for his brother, Max, who is autistic during the summer. He feels ignored and unappreciated, but has several breakthroughs over the course of his middle school summer break. ( )

This book is about a young man who has a special skill which is eating. This book is very humorous. It also talks about the boys relationship between him and his autistic brother. This would be a good book for a book club. ( )
