Will didn't plan to eat a stinkbug. But when his friend Darryl called
new kid Eloy Herrera a racial slur, Will did it as a diversion. Now Will
is Bug Boy, and everyone is cracking up inventing insect meals for him,
like French flies and maggot-aroni and fleas. Turns out eating
bugs for food is a real thing called entomophagy. Deciding that means
he can use a class project to feed everyone grasshoppers, Will bargains
for Eloy's help in exchange for helping him with wrestling, but their
growing friendship only ticks off Darryl more. Will may have bitten off
more than he can chew as crickets, earthworm jerky--even a scorpion--end
up on his plate, but insects are the least of his problems. When things
between Darryl and Eloy heat up, Will wrestles with questions of loyalty
and honor--and learns that maybe not all friendships are worth fighting
for.
