It was the day before Halloween and Mila came over to Theodore's house to help dig for worms. they decided they would find a few worms and let Joey choose the yummiest one to eat.
The next morning Joey seemed quiet nervous, because at recess he would be eating the worm. Eddie had sold 7 tickets for this event. It was time to get dressed in their Halloween costumes. When Theodore came back to the classroom, his bag of worms had vanished. Mila went to find a witness. A few minutes later she came back with Helen. Helen started to tell Theodore about what and who she saw. He quickly grabbed his journal to take notes.
All the talk over the missing bag, made everyone panic. Students were hiding under desks, they were so scared. All of a sudden Theodore noticed Joey had his bag. He went to talk to him, but after opening the bag, he noticed it was the teachers pumpkin pie! He remembered she also had the same grocery store bag that day.
They all rushed to the auditorium to find the pie contest. They found their principal about to pen the last pie box. They stopped him just in time. He was very upset and told them worms do not belong in school. Luckily he didn't know the real reason they were there.
The Halloween party was a success. Ms. Gleason even won the pie contest! Almost everyone in the class had bought a ticket to see Joey eat a worm. Joey at the worm in 3 bites. School was over and they all went home to trick-or-treat hoping NOT to see a mummy!

I thought this book was very good! I would recommend it to any student. The first page of the book caught my attention, when I usually struggle to quickly get into reading a book.
