Overview
“Like the sunrise, some things just have to happen – and all you can really do is watch.”
Winner of a plethora of awards, honors, and accolades, Andrew Clements’ Frindle is an imaginative and irreverent tale of self-expression and the surprising weight of words.
Notorious class-clown and time-waster Nick Allen is a student most fifth-graders would love to have in class…though one that teachers may not. When Mrs. Granger, Nick’s teacher, assigns him an essay about the origin of words, it kickstarts a local lexical revolution. One word does it all – “frindle”, a word Nick has made up to replace the word “pen”.
But “frindle” isn’t a one-off classroom joke – soon, it’s a national phenomenon, garnering Nick attention and more responsibility than he can manage.
Addressing themes such as the value of creativity, perspective differences, and the power of language, Frindle remains a middle-grade favorite.
