Summary
Hoping to help their troubled father, who has been sitting on his roof for several days, Worm and his older brother set out from their mother's house on a trek across suburban Virginia
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Eating a worm when he was seven earned Will Glasser the nickname Worm, and making stupid mistakes and acting goofy made it stick. But now it's time to get serious. His parents have split up and his depressed father has been acting very strange. Worm and his brother Todd have been forbidden to see their dad, but they are determined to go and help him. To get to their dad's house without being caught means three days of trekking, camping, and hiding through the wilds of suburbia. They face a swamp, a storm, lack of food, a teacher who's tracking them, and older bullies who threaten them and steal their supplies--but it's all worth it to help their dad.
"[Worm] relates what happens with all the humor and sarcasm of an 11-year-old....A likable character aware of his own shortcomings." --Booklist
"Haas portrays a hero's search for self in the wilds of the suburbs as Worm seeks his father and an explanation for the upheaval in his life....It's Worm whom readers will take to their hearts and remember." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
