  We've finally arrived to part 10 of my underrated books series! I hope you like these books too. Or are planning on reading them thanks to me.  Goodreads links are provided, too. 1. Word by Word by Korey Stamper .  It's an informational nonfiction book on how the Merriam-Webster dictionary is made, written by someone who has worked there.  2. How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell . A hilarious middle grade book about a boy named Billy who won't lose to a bet to eat fried worms. After all, he needs the money to buy a new bike! 3.

And she catches the attention of the owner's son. 4. Bone series by Jeff Smith . An epic (and sometimes funny) fantasy adventure with a unique art style.

She also talked about the history of the English language and even myths about certain words and grammar. Some things that stood out to me that I learned were: lexicographers (like the author) aren't the only ones writing the dictionary. They have employees fro...
