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 \u003ci\u003eflies \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003emaggot\u003c\/i\u003e-aroni \u003ci\u003eand fleas\u003c\/i\u003e. Turns out eating bugs for food is a real thing called \u003ci\u003eentomophagy\u003c\/i\u003e. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"The straightforward and uncluttered style will please lovers of the Wimpy Kid series . . .
