About this eBook

Is Nick Allen a troublemaker?
He really just likes to liven things up at school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas. When Nick learns some interesting information about how words are created, suddenly he's got the inspiration for his best plan ever...the frindle. Who says a pen has to be called a pen? Why not call it a frindle? Things begin innocently enough as Nick gets his friends to use the new word. Then other people in town start saying frindle. Soon the school is in an uproar, and Nick has become a local hero. His teacher wants Nick to put an end to all this nonsense, but the funny thing is frindle doesn't belong to Nick anymore. The new word is spreading across the country, and there's nothing Nick can do to stop it.

Ratings and reviews

I read the sample of "Frindle" by Andrew Clements and it's really good so far! The main character, Nicki, is so funny and smart. He's trying to come up with a new word and it's cool to see him think creatively the writing is easy to understand and it feels like I'm right there with Nicki in his classroom. I like how the author shows Nicki's thoughts and feelings in way thats relatable I'm curious to see what happens next and if Nicki's new word catches on. the sample ended on a cliffhanger, so I'm tempted to keep reading

This is a good book but I think it should be a little bit less money because then no one will be able to afford this but other than that this is a good book and I would give it 5 stars

I am reading this book and my reading class at school it is a very interesting book to read so I just want every single one of you to know that is a very interesting book as you see if you read it you'll be very interested to read all of it thank you very much
