Summary: The Word Eater-you'll eat it up!
Review: Mary Amato takes the text of 3 different stories (Fip the worms birth, Lerner Canse's problems at school, and a facory filled with under paid children) and puts them together. This is the story about a girl named Lerner who discovers a magical worm named Fip. If Fip eats a word, that word dissapears of the face of the earth-forever! Lerner learns more and more about Fip. The more she learns, the more the book gets interesting. The book has a unique text style that always keeps the reader thinking: what's going to happen next?

Summary: Word Eater!
Review: My son Case read this book and he liked it allot! He said the coolest thing about it was when the worm eats the words then the real objects disappear forever. When he eats the word "vending machine" and then it disappears but all the money and the candy and stuff fall on the ground around where the machine used to be. Case said he would recommend this book to friends to read and he is doing a book jacket on it for his 3rd Grade class! Enjoy!

Summary: Fun with words -- and worms
Review: The "word eater" in question turns out to be Fip, a worm who likes to eat words -- but once he eats a word, whatever that word signifies disappears from the world permanently. Lerner, the book's protagonist, has to learn how to deal with the amazing power she has acquired because of the worm, while she's also learning how to fit in to a new school.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though it's aimed at kids (our 11-year-old liked it, too), it has aspects adults will appreciate. It sure made me wonder how I would deal with that kind of absolute power -- possibly not as well as the heroine of this book.

Summary: The Word Eater Is GREAT***************
Review: The Book Worm is a breath taking book about a worm named Fip, a girl named Lerner, and an evil man named Mr. Mack. Fip eats words and it's quite exciting what happens after he eats them. Lerner is new to the school and finds Fip who changes her luck completely. Mr. Mack is a buisness man who makes tacks and trains Attackaterriers (the meanist dogs who have been trained in the "Attacka" manner) The first magical happening happens to Mr Mack.

The book overall is outstanding and it only took me three and one half hours to read it. I read straight through the whole book only putting it down durring school. The book is so catchy and has so many surprises that it could be classified as mystery or adventure. I personnaly loved the book and the way it was portraied.

I would reccomend this book to all readers; it is not to hard to read, and it is very interesting in many ways. I think most everyone would like it becouse it hits a lot of intrests and it has some main suspense points when you wish it would just kindof give you the answer.

I hope you read the book and enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: never under estimate a worm
Review: This book is one of my favorites and despite it's almost "spineless" plot that spins in many different directions, it still gives you the theme the author (Mary) was trying to get through... even though it WAS aimed at the 4th-6th grade level, I still have a rather pleasent feeling reading the book and it's chilling end really made me think twice about having a "power". This book about a avarage kid trying to cope with moving and getting used to new peers is a excellent book to buy for your kids and even teenagers. (They Need it really) And the funny if not hysterical clips from newspapers and the internet that dot the book make it all worth-while to read. God bless.
