Summary: A New Word For Pen!!!!
Review: Frindle

Frindle, the realistic story by Andrew Clements, is about a boy called Nick, who is very intelligent and creative. He is very kind and likes to think of new ideas and do his own things. He is not particularly bad, but somehow he seems to get himself into lots of trouble.
The story is set in New Hampshire in America. It is written in modern times. The title of the book is Frindle and this is the new word Nick has created for a pen. Nick called a pen a frindle because he questioned why a pen was called a pen. Nick has just started fifth grade and his language arts teacher is Ms Granger. Everybody hates her because she is mean and makes all the children look up their mistakes in the dictionary. Ms Granger loves her dictionary and she tries to make the children use it a lot.
One day after school, Nick was walking home with his friend Janet Fisk. Janet saw a pen lying on the ground, she picked it up and it slipped out of her hand again. Nick picked it up and handed it to her and for some strange reason, he said, "Here is your Frindle." As he said this, he had a great idea; he said, "Hey, instead of the word pen, why don't we call it a frindle." The next day Nick was telling everyone about his new word, frindle. Ms Granger got irritated with Nick and told him to stop using the nonsense word. A week later the principal requested to see Nick's parents about Nick and his new word frindle. The principal asked Nick's parents to tell Nick to stop using his made up word.
Unbelievably other strange things happen, with the use of the new word. If you want to hear about the rest of this story read this fabulous and great book Frindle.
I recommend this book, because the characters are believable and funny. It is not like any normal school classroom. Once you start reading the book, you won't want to put it down. The pages will be turned quickly. Nick is half cool and a bit geeky, but you can't help but like him.

Summary: Nick's Pen
Review: I read the book Frindle in my 3rd grade book club. It was about a boy named Nick. Nick's teacher named Mrs. Granger tolled him that you can make a word as long as it makes sense. So, Nick made the word Frindle. My favorite part is the ending but I don't want to ruin it for you. So read it your self!

Summary: Frindle
Review: he book I read was called Frindle. The author of the book is Andrew Clements. The illusrator is Brian Selznick. The story was about a kid named Nick who is in fifth grade. He doesn't like hi techer Mrs. Granger. She makes everyone us the dictionary, which isn't a favorite to Nick. He can't remember words. When Nick was walking to school one day, he found a pen on the grond. and for some reason he named the pen Frindle. This wprd spread all over the world. It even wen in te dictionary. I would recommend that you read this book.

Summary: Putting Frindle to Paper
Review: Mischievous Nicholas Allen, a fifth grader, invents the word "frindle as a replacement for "pen" when his teacher explains that words become words because we all decide what goes into dictionaries. To his teacher's dismay he convinces his friends to swear off the word "pen" and use "frindle" instead everywhere. His teacher unsucessfully tries to stop this with penalties. Despite his teacher and his principal's efforts "frindle" catches on and soon the whole school is defiantly using that word exclusively. The word spreads around town when a local paper picks up the story. Eventually the whole country hears about this new fad as Nick ends up on national broadcast television talking about frindles.

"Frindle" is a heartwarming and funny little book. I read the book in one sitting, with a smile on my face the whole time. Yes, this is a children's book, but adults will love it as well.

Summary: An Inspiring Book for Teachers and Students
Review: I am currently a student teacher, and was asked by my cooperating teacher to read this book to my class of very energetic fifth graders. This book kept the students listening for at least 15 minutes. When I would ask them questions, they were enthusiastic in answering them. I have never seen a group of fifth graders pay such close attention to a book, and then talk about the chapter throughout the day. The kids were inspired to create their own words. As a future teacher, this book inspired me, and showed me how much of an impact I will be having on my students' lives. This book is one that every teacher and every student should read.

Summary: A very funny novel
Review: Ten-year-old Nick Allen has a reputation for devising clever, time-wasting schemes guaranteed to distract even the most conscientious teacher. His diversions backfire in Mrs. Granger's fifth-grade class, however, resulting in Nick being assigned an extra report on how new entries are added to the dictionary. Surprisingly, the research provides Nick with his best idea ever, and he decides to coin his own new word. Mrs. Granger has a passion for vocabulary, but Nick's (and soon the rest of the school's) insistence on referring to pens as "frindles" annoys her greatly. The war of words escalates--resulting in after-school punishments, a home visit from the principal, national publicity, economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs, and, eventually, inclusion of frindle in the dictionary. Slightly reminiscent of Avi's Nothing but the Truth (1991), this is a kinder, gentler story in which the two sides eventually come to a private meeting of the minds and the power of language triumphs over both. Sure to be popular with a wide range of readers, this will make a great read-aloud as well.

Summary: An Exciting Book About A Pen
Review: Frindle was a pretty good book because it's exciting and funny. It has some funny comedy that will keep you laughing for days because the main character is in a war with a teacher. I find that funny. This book is very exciting. But there are acouple of boring parts, which is why I gave this book four stars.
