Summary: A Fantastic Book for Young Readers
Comment: Frindle by Andrew Clements is about a troublemaker who makes up the word 'frindle' and uses it instead of 'pen'. It turns into a big battle between Nick and his language teacher. His made-up word ends up going all over the United States.
Andrew Clements likes to put humor in his books. He doesn't put too much detail in about his characters. It's also kind of interesting how a little word made such a big deal.
This changed my point of view on dictionaries. I think they're more interesting now. If we say 'pen' means 'pen' because we say so, then 'frindle' can mean pen if we say so.
I recommend this book to every 4th and 5th grade student if you like to read ridiculous books. It has excellent voice, organization, fluency, ideas, and word choice.

Summary: Can you make a Word?
Comment: Clements writes a funny and fast-paced story about a 5th grader named, Nick Allen. Nick Allen is a typical, 'class clown,' always trying to distract his teachers. One day, Nick's Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Granger, teaches the students about the dictionary and the origin of words. This strikes Nick's interest in coming up with his own word. Nick begins to call a ball point pen a frindle, and before long his friends are using the word. The word, frindle, does not stop there; instead it spreads like wild fire among the school and even the town. The teachers are outraged by the popularity of the word that Nick made up. Even Mrs. Granger gives out detentions because of the word, frindle. Mrs. Granger and Nick continue to butt heads throughout the book, until finally they learn to appreciate one another. Will the popularity of the word, frindle land it a spot in the dictionary?
I enjoyed Clements clever and witty book, 'Frindle.' Children would find this book hard to put down, like I did, with its constant and easy to understand humor. They can read about a boy who takes on his teacher, his school and the world in a way, with his word invention. He is a student that is ordinarily seen as the class clown, who chooses to go against the grain. Although, he may have invented the word out of pure orneriness, he did prove to be very determined and persistent in keeping the word in circulation. This book will encourage the reader, no matter what their role is in the classroom.
Although some of the situations in the book seem wild and highly unrealistic as an adult, kids would be easily captivated by them. The majority of the book seems very realistic and also very easy for children to relate to. A good number of children have probably tired to invent a word or an object at some point in their life, so this story will hit home for them. If not, the mischief and ornery nature of Nick Allen will indeed hit home.

It's very true. I LOVE it. You can read this book in a snap.

This book is about a boy named Nick, and his teacher Ms. Granger.Nick started to use his new word..Frindle..and then....I shouldn't say the whole story...you have to read it and find it out!
