Listen to the opening chapters — free
Prefer to listen first? This is the free read-aloud of Who Erased My Name?, read by a professional narrator, with chapter markers. It covers the opening chapters and stops at the turning point — the ending is in the book.
Is this suitable for a 13 or 14 year old?
Yes. The story is written for ages 8–12, which is where most readers start it, but the situations — group chats, reputation, being talked about at school — land just as hard at 13 and 14. Older readers who find long novels heavy often finish this in one sitting, which is exactly the point.
Looking for children’s books about self esteem?
When parents search childrens books about self esteem, the trigger is usually something small and specific: a name left off a list, a group chat that went quiet, an invitation that never came. Who Erased My Name? starts exactly there and stays with Lena while she works out the difference between being excluded and being worth less. No pep talk, no rescue — she gets there herself, which is the part children believe.
What age is this book for?
Ages 8–12. It works as one of the more emotionally direct books for 8 year olds, lands squarely as books for 9 year olds and books for 10 year olds when friendship groups start shifting, and stays relevant as books for 11 year olds and books for 12 year olds through the first year of secondary school. Readers of 13 and 14 read it too. Browse the wider lists of books for 9 year olds and books for 11 year olds.
Is it a chapter book?
Yes — a short illustrated chapter book at 229 x 152 mm; the printed page count is listed in the specifications above. It is shorter than most chapter books for 10 year olds by design, so reluctant readers finish it rather than abandon it.
Ebook or paperback?
Your choice at checkout. The digital edition is a children’s ebook that downloads instantly and reads on any device, available worldwide. The paperback is printed and delivered within the United Kingdom.
