Frindle

Nick Allen is known for playing tricks on people (especially teachers), but fifth grade is going to be one challenging year. Nick's teacher, Mrs. Granger is tough, mean, and very hard to fool. Nothing gets by her.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fun, and excitement. You never know what will happen next. Frindle is probably best for people in fourth through sixth grade. I think anybody who wants a good, fun book to read should read Frindle.

a well-handled conflict between teacher and student

I made the mistake of pulling out this book while I was waiting for a doctor's appointment. The nurse called my name three times before I realized she was talking to me. :)

The story drew me in, and Nick Allen's likable character was established right away - he's creative and confident, and it's easy to see why most kids like him. It was refreshing to read a story that didn't have the usual conflict between students, or the usual evil-teacher-good-student plot line. Frindle had me laughing out loud, yet sad that it was so short. This is a book I'm going to set aside for my own kids to read when they're old enough.

Frindle

Frindle is a very good book. It is a third grade read. Frindle is about a fourth grader named Nick Allen. Nick Allen is a good student and has lots of ideas to distract his teacher. They get in a fight about using the word Frindle and Nick Allen is punished every time he says the word Frindle (pen).

Once you are in the middle of the book you can not put the book down. I recommend that every third grader should read it.
The best book I have ever read is Frindle.

GREAT GIFT

THE BOOK WAS BOUGHT AT THE LAST MINUTE AND SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR STEP IN JUST ENOUGH TIME TO BE GIVEN AS A GIFT FOR A RETIRING TEACHER. IT ARRIVED IN SUPERIOR QUALITY AND OUR TEACHER FRIEND WAS VERY HAPPY TO REC'V THE HARDBOUND COPY.
THANKS FOR EXPEDITING THE DELIVERY AMAZON,AND FOR THE GREAT PRICE!

Frindle - Another Name for Pen

Andrew Clements is an amazing writer. This book has a beginning, a middle, an ending and then a here ever after. That is what I liked the best about this piece. I loved knowing the ending after the first ending. A simple writing tool, a pen, gets renamed a "Frindle" by Nick Allen who just wants to be himself and maybe cause a little trouble in between. This book is about writing and the tools you use to do so all wrapped up in a sometimes frustrating, funny, and freaky manner. The plot is original and the characters real and contemporary. If you want to share the concept of being unique while staying true to your friends and family, this would be the one! A great middle school read!
