Max's little brother, Adam, gets an ant farm for his birthday and becomes an ant expert in his excitement. However, when Max tells him people eat ants after seeing a can of chocolate covered ants at a friend's house, Adam refuses to believe him. The brothers make a wager, which turns out to be a lot more difficult than Max realized. The plot is believable and mildly humorous, although somewhat unremarkable. Given the age and mediocrity of the work, this is an unnessisary addition to collections. ( )
