” Zia Erases the World ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Zia remembers the exact night the Shadoom arrived. One moment she was laughing with her best friends, and the next a dark room of shadows had crept into her chest. Zia has always loved words, but she can’t find a real one for the fear growing inside her. How can you defeat something if you don’t know its name? After Zia’s mom announces that her grouchy Greek yiayia is moving into their tiny apartment, the Shadoom seems here to stay. Until Zia discovers an old family heirloom: the C. Scuro Dictionary, 13th Edition. This is no ordinary dictionary. Hidden within its magical pages is a mysterious blue eraser shaped like an evil eye. When Zia starts to erase words that remind her of the Shadoom, they disappear one by one from the world around her. She finally has the confidence to befriend Alice, the new girl in sixth grade, and to perform at the Story Jamboree. But things quickly dissolve into chaos, as the words she erases turn out to be more vital than Zia knew.

Brief Summary Zia Erases the World by Bree Barton

We had less words when I was a kid. It’s true! When I was growing up the same concepts and ideas as today were all around, but so many of their terms were unknown to the general populace. I had a friend with OCD but we didn’t have a name for it. I had a friend who was certainly non-binary, but the idea of personal pronouns had entered few children’s lexicons. We had kids who were neurodivergent or suffered from anxiety and yet the terms we used for these conditions were so clunky and broad. I don’t know that we quite understood how important it would be to name things for what they were. Names have power. If you can name something, you can tackle it. And for so long our children have wrestled with the nameless. They’ve been on their own, maybe making up their own names when they couldn’t shove themselves into the already existing lexicon. I say all this, but it’s not like the kids born today are gifted every word out there instantly upon birth. They still need to find the words and the names that fit who they are inside.
