    Cool Book Must Read!

    When I opened the tanned pages of Frindle, I was swept into a world of language and the thoughts that collided in Nick Allen's mind. His ideas for the new word replacing pen urged me to rename every item in my house! Wonderful Book, and cleverly written. Must Read!

    I LOVED THIS BOOK

    This book is great. It was the first i had read by Andrew Clements and has inspired me to read every other book he has written. Some adults think that he wasn't respecting his teacher but in reality he was just having a bit of fun. Personally I don't think he was trying to create trouble just exploring what his teacher said. Besides, doesn't it say in the end that his teacher was rooting for his word and by going against it she was pushing it forward. A must read for all ages.

    A must read book for everyone!

    This book is really cool. It's about a boy,Nick, who wonders "Why does a pen have to be called a pen?" NIck gets the whole school calling a pen frindle and the teachers get mad at them and try to stop it. It is a really good book.

    I enjoyed this a lot.

    This book was the first book I read by the author, Andrew Clements and right away I thought this man was a great author. The story is about a boy that makes up a word that was to subsitute the word pen. The story is quite amusing and full of humor as some problems come to the boy such as getting detetion for making others say it as well. But at the end he gets his new word into the Webster's dictionary with the help of his strict grammar teacher that used to not like his new word at all.
