Book Synopsis



An update of the best-selling dictionary written especially for middle school students.

This essential resource for grades 6-8, ages 11-14 is a great study aid for students building vocabulary and engaging with more complex text as they prepare for high school.

Discover the meanings of over 67,000 words and phrases. 250 newly added words and senses across a variety of fields include chatbot, cryptocurrency, escape room, greenwash, Juneteenth, metaverse, sus, yeet, and zedonk.

Nearly 23,000 usage examples and more than 1,000 carefully drawn illustrations clarify and expand understanding. Abundant word history and synonym paragraphs help students build vocabulary and improve reading and writing skills. New formal and informal labels provide guidance on appropriate word choice.

A new Mythological, Folkloric, Legendary, and Scriptural Names section provides students with information about figures they encounter in literature and cultural studies. A great complement to Merriam-Webster's Intermediate Thesaurus.

A must buy

I like everything about this book! I don't usually post reviews but since I took a chance to buy this for my 4th grader, I wanted to help other parents who might be in the hunt for a dictionary. It has 1000 pages but doesn't feel heavy. I attribute it to the thinner pages. There's some drawings and there's a key at the bottom of each page to help with pronunciations. At the end, there are sections for names, places, grammar, symbols and more. This was a bonus, as I wasn't expecting to find this at all. Too bad I can't post more pictures. I was a little disappointed that the delivery was later than originally stated, but now that I have it in my hands, it was worth the extra wait and inconvenience.
