(2) YA David accidentally bids $2,000 in an online auction with his mother's credit card; he plans to pay her back with winnings from competitive eating contests. David takes pride in this particular talent, and in caring for his autistic younger brother, Mal. The first-person narrative explores the brothers' relationship in a nuanced way (except for occasionally ableist language) as David becomes more attuned to Mal's perspective.
