Summary: IS FRINDLE A REAL WORD?
Review: Frindle is an interesting realistic fiction book by Andrew Clements. In this story there are two important characters. One is Nick Allen and one is Mrs. Granger. Nick Allen is a student in Lincoln elementary school and Mrs. Granger is the grade 5 teacher of Lincoln Elementary School. Nick is a smart, playful, and funny boy. Mrs. Granger is a powerful, scary and thoughtful teacher. She is old, helpful and hard working too. Mrs. Granger loves dictionary. One-day Nick's friend found a pen on the floor. Nick started calling it Frindle and that's the start of the trouble. At class time nick threw the pen forward and backwards with his friend to tell Mrs. Granger what a Frindle is. Nick's word Frindle became very famous in that all the people in the school were used the word Frindle. Mrs. Granger gave lines to the children who used the word Frindle. There were so many children who were using the word Frindle, the school principal had to visit Nick's parents, but Nick's mom ignored it. It was a big, big story that went on the news. Nick became very famous and rich. Now all the children in the world knew the word Frindle. All the things that printed Frindle were selling it fast. Time passed, Nick Allen was in college. One day, he got a box. It was from Mrs. Granger his grade five teacher. There was a letter, a dictionary, and a case. Nick read the letter and found out that Mrs. Granger was not giving lines for the kids to stop using the word Frindle. Nick felt so thankful to Mrs. Granger. Next he opened up the dictionary and a sign said, page 541 he opened up the page and saw the word Frindle. It said, Frindle meaning... he was surprised to know that his word has gotten in the dictionary. He was so happy. At last he opened the case it was a pen. It was Mrs. Grangers favorite pen.

I recommend this book because I think is interesting that a 5th grade boy made up a word Frindle.

Summary: A Fantastic Book for Young Readers
Review: 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: One of the best kid's books I've read
Review: As an elementary school librarian, I can say that "Frindle" is one of the finest books for intermediate grades I have read in a long time. I only regret that I didn't read it years ago, so I could've been recommending it to teachers to read-aloud and to students who would like a humorous, yet thought-provoking, story.

Like most successful books for kids, "Frindle" works on many different levels. It's funny, fast-paced, and while the main character, Nick, is kind of a class clown, he has qualities that even a mean teacher like Mrs. Granger would like. And even though Mrs. Granger has a reputation for being strict, she also earns the respect of children and parents. While some situations are a bit far-fetched, this story is still quite realistic. We get a glimpse how a seemingly insignificant event at a small town elementary school through a media-frenzy becomes an international phenomenon. Can anyone say "fad?"

3rd through 6th grade teachers should consider reading this book about the invention of a new word, "frindle," to their classes. Both teachers and students will enjoy it.

Summary: must read book
Review: I think this book was a very good book. I liked this book because it was a different kind of book. This book was about a boy who was entering a new grade and then his teacher makes him do a report and then he comes up with making his own word up called Frindle.
He and alot of other kids made a promise to say the word frindle instead of pen . They were threatend with copying out of the dictionary but that didn't stop them. Later on Nick Allen's word was published in the Dictionary.

Summary: Frindle
Review: Frindle is an awesome book. I absolutely loved it! Nick Allen is a ten year-old guy trying to make his mark in society. Well, sort of. When his mean teacher, Mrs. Granger, gave him an essay on words and how they're started. His plan to distract the teacher blew up in his face and landed him an essay due the next day. He wasn't about to let this happen without a fight. Nick starts telling everyone to say frindle instead of pen. It works, but the teachers won't put up with it and rebel against it. Mrs.
Granger, giving out tons of detentoins everyday especially seems to hate it. After many news reports and angry parents, frindle was put into the dictionary, and Nick wins, but not after finding out that Mrs. Granger was on Nick's side the whole time. By causing an uproar, news reporters came and made the word famous. I would recommend this book to just about any reader. I stayed up all night trying to take my eyes off the pages. It is definitely a most read book!
