The Word Eater by Mary Amato, Christopher Ryniak
4.0

Cute little story that could provoke some good discussion. A girl finds a worm who eats written words, but when he does those words disappeared in the real world. It starts off small, with all of the thumbtacks disappearing, but when the kids at school try to make the whole school disappear, something must be done.
