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

Pretty!
Color: Silver, Size: 24 mm, Color: Silver, Size: 24 mm
The Amazon Essentials Hoop with Glass Circle are very pretty earrings. They are good quality for the price and the 24mm option are fairly large. Initially one of the posts was bent so they wouldn't snap closed properly, but I was able to bend it a little to get it to now close even though it isn't completely straight. It looks fine once it is in my ear. They also came in a little velvet pouch so these would be great for gift giving and look more expensive then they are. I would recommend.

Nice earrings
Color: Silver, Size: 24 mm
These earring are beautiful. I like how they sparkle. They are very comfortable. I gave them 4 stars because I feel like the clasp closure is a bit loose. It still closes but I noticed one closure is looser than the other. I love the size of them, They are not too big but they are not small either. I feel like they are the prefect size. I like the thickness of them and make a great statement piece. I get compliments on them. I recommend.

Heavy Earrings
Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm, Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm
While quite beautiful, my wife complains that they are a bit heavy for her ears and cause her pain. The inner glass circle is removable and has helped alleviate the weight on her ears. However, that was the reason she chose these earrings. If she takes that off, she is left with plain silver hoops, which she didn’t want.

very pretty, sparkly
Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm, Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm
These actually look much nicer than I thought they would, given the price point. These ae silver plated brass, but nickel and lead free. It is kind of a bummer that they are only silver plated though. So far, they haven't been irritating my ears at all.
They open really wide with a hinge at the bottom. The little sparkly donut covers that while you're wearing them so you don't' really see the hinge. The donut can slip off very easily though. You have to be careful when opening, closing, and putting them in.
