Plot

The start of the book introduces Bernie Bridges, a self-admirer, and his friends, Feenman, Crench, and Belzer, also Bernie's servant.

After Bernie tells the reader about the school, he walks out to the big statue of the school's founder, I. B. Rotten, where he sees that there is a huge crowd gathering around it. When Bernie gets a closer look, he sees his arch - rival Sherman Oaks showing off his million dollar watch with 42 applications, including a popcorn popper. And when Bernie sees his crush, April-May June, being "hypnotized" by the watch, he thinks that he must have the watch!

After encountering los of obstactacles during the day, Bernie thinks he has no hope for him to get the watch... until he sees his friend Beast eat an entire pizza and more "whole" at the same time. Bernie suddenly realises how he can get the watch from Sherman very easily... a pie-eating contest. However, Bernie has a tiny problem... Beast is allergic to blueberry pie, and when Sherman hears that Beast is allergic to blueberry pie, things get more complicated when Sherman "insists" that there will a be a contest with Beast vs. Wes Uphood... with blueberry pie.

However, the allergy was a fraud, and now that Bernie knows, he has one tiny problem... how would he get the pies?

The next day, Bernie sees April-May going to cooking class, and after another "un"successful atemmpt to woo her, he asks what they're cooking. It turned out to be chocolate cakes, and as Bernie asks "What about blueberry pies?", the door gets slammed in his face.

Soon, Jennifer Ecch, a big, strong girl from the 4th grade who's madly in love with Bernie tells him that crying always works on Mrs. Monella, the cooking teacher. So, he pretends to cry in front of her later to get the pies. It works.

That night, Bernie sneaks out, gets the blueberry pies, and starts the pie contest. Beast beats Wes easily because of his huge appetite, and Bernie wins the watch. However, 30 seonds later, Ms. Monella comes in wit April-May and sees barf all over the floor, and just as Bernie is getting in BIG trouble, he gives the watch away to charity.

Just as Bernie is going to take April-May to dance lessons, the Ecch comes and drags Bernie away.
