Books like The Word Eater

I LOVED this book!I actually made a goodreads account just so I could come in here and review this book!I read this book when I was maybe 8 to 10? That's when it came out and I got it at a scholastic book fair! And it has stuck with me all these years. It's such an amazing concept: A worm who eats words and then the object disappears from human existence forever!Especially because the worm fell into the care of a nerd who was picked on (like me). It really made me feel exceptional reading about this newfound power of self worth after (almost) destroying some very important things!I really think this book is a good read for EVERYONE and at 25 I just recommended it to my friend (who is a book lover and also 25!)Great book Mary Amato!
