Publisher Description
Is Nick Allen a troublemaker?
He really just likes to liven things up at school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas. When Nick learns some interesting information about how words are created, suddenly he's got the inspiration for his best plan ever...the frindle. Who says a pen has to be called a pen? Why not call it a frindle? Things begin innocently enough as Nick gets his friends to use the new word. Then other people in town start saying frindle. Soon the school is in an uproar, and Nick has become a local hero. His teacher wants Nick to put an end to all this nonsense, but the funny thing is frindle doesn't belong to Nick anymore. The new word is spreading across the country, and there's nothing Nick can do to stop it.

The Review of Frindle
This is simply a classic. The story is new and fresh and the characters are as delightful as ever. While the plot is a bit contrived, it is still funny as heck. The joke land, characters are likeable, and the story is fun and mostly fresh and new. Overall, just check it out man. Andrew Clements, you have outdone yourself. :)
Excellent.
This might just be the best book I've ever read.
Frindle
This book was one of the required books for my Children's Literature class. At first I was skeptical, but it is an absolutely enchanting, wonderful book for all teachers and students. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a teacher, or just for anyone who has a creative spirit and dares to be original.
