Nicholas Allen has plenty of ideas. Who can forget the time he turned his third-grade classroom into a tropical island, or the times he fooled his teacher by chirping like a blackbird? But now Nick's in fifth grade, and it looks like his days as a troublemaker are over. Everyone knows that Mrs. Granger, the language arts teacher, has X-ray vision, and nobody gets away with anything in her classroom. To make matters worse, she's also a fanatic about the dictionary, which is hopelessly boring to Nick. But when Nick learns an interesting tidbit about words and where they come from, it inspires his greatest plan yet: to invent a new word. From now on, a pen is no longer a pen -- it's a frindle. It doesn't take long for frindle to take root, and soon the excitement spreads well beyond his school and town. His parents and Mrs. Granger would like Nick to put an end to all this nonsense. But frindle doesn't belong to Nick anymore. All he can do now is sit back and watch what happens.
This quirky, imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words will have readers inventing their own words. Brian Selznick's black-and-white illustrations enhance the humor in this unforgettable story.

I read this book in fourth grade and it is about a boy, Nick Allen. He decided to call a pen a frindle. The teachers start to get mad and give detention to who ever says the word.
This book is about a boy, Nick Allen, who is a trouble maker. He saw a pen 1 day and decided to call it a Frindle. When everybody said it in front of the teacher she would get really mad and send them to DETENTION. This book was okay.
Frindle is about a boy who makes up a word and he becomes famous at his school..

I read this in fourth grade. It seems like Nick is a trouble maker. Is Nick Allen a troublemaker? He really just likes to liven things up at school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas.
