Andrew Clements
Nicholas Allen is not a troublemaker -- he's just creative. When he decides to liven things up in Mrs. Granger's fifth grade language arts class, he comes up with the greatest plan yet. He invents a new word for a pen -- frindle. It doesn't take long for frindle to take root and soon the excitement spreads beyond the school and town and unleashes a series of events that rapidly spins out of control.

"A middle school read "

"I don’t remember ever reading this but we listened to it while road-tripping and was a cute story! "

"I had a whole big Andrew Clements phase when I was little and this was one of the books that started it all! Super fun, quick read for preteens and kids, (although I kind of want to read it again for the sake of nostalgia!) - very creative story that definitely made me want to come up with a new name for something as well as a kid. "

"This was a great book for teachers who want to give a greater understanding of general word origins or how words become common. I enjoyed a character who was creative and smart but not necessarily a perfect student. Because breaking rules is sometimes important!"
