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 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. Master talent Pete Hautman has cooked 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.Binding Type: Hardcover

The best bone you can get for pitbulls!
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Can I give these more than five stars? Please?? They truly deserve more than that! I have bought these bones for the last 2 years for my pitbull mix, who is a very aggressive chewer. Her favorite thing to do is just lay and chew. These bones last FOREVER! She can lay there and chew all day long and they will last her MONTHS! It’s honestly amazing! These are the best bones we’ve ever given her and they are the only ones we’ll buy her! Not only do they last forever, they’re safe and natural too! Best product ever!

Great for aggressive chewers, but small mess
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
He took it right away! It’s a great size. We’ll see how it holds up
ONE MONTH UPDATE: (photo included)
He loves it still! Still a bit messy but holding up great and he’s a aggressive chewer
1 WEEK UPDATE (photo update included)
The bone is great. He loves it and it’s been holding up great. Our 8 month puppy is a super chewer and 60 lbs. the bone has signs of wear but nothing crazy. I went from 5 stars to 4 stars because whenever he chews the bone, the small tiny pieces of bone/wood go everywhere and they’re sticky/hard and make kind of a mess. But still would get this bone again and highly recommend

Made for aggressive chewers
Size: Small (Pack of 1)
My aggressive chewers are obsessed. This is one of the only chew toys that actually lasts for them. Always have to buy 2 so they each have their own

My dogs love these sticks!
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
My dogs love these sticks! We buy them constantly because they chews on them daily and must stash them all over the house.
