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!

OK
It was an OK book. Frindle is a catchy word and instead of saying Oh My God I say oh my frindle. I'm surprised that the whole usa started using frindle in the book, but overall, it was an alright book

Frindle
I just finished reading the book, Frindle, by Andrew Clements. I am a fourth grade student from Mountaintop, Pa. I really enjoyed this book. I think other kids would also like it because it is easy to read and they would like the main character of the story, Nick Allen. Nick Allen is a very creative and funny fifth grader who is always using his ideas to get his teachers not to give the class work. The characters in this story are very believable. No one likes Nick’s language arts teacher, Mrs. Granger. She is extremely strict. Nick and Mrs. Granger are always at war with each other. I think the best part of the story is when Nick made up the word “frindle” for pen. Nick’s new word caught on across the country. Will “frindle” become a real word? Will the war between Mrs. Granger and Nick end? I recommend reading this great story to find out the surprising ending.

Nothing to worry about
The only thing to worry about is the fact that Nick disobeys his teacher. The only reason I did not give this a five was because of like Andrew's other books the beginning are really draggy. Funny book!!!

rock on!!!
andrew clements books rock!!!!!!!! this is about his first book: More on Frindle Book Summary Nick's creative troublemaking brings his school to a standstill and causes a national uproar. The new word he's invented is sweeping the country. But he may have met his match in his fifth-grade teacher, Dangerous Grangerous.Frindle is a word Nick ma ...

Why This Book Is Good To Read... my story
I am a fifteen year-old girl who just loved this book. I am also very imaginative and creative and love to make up funny words. Now i only use the word "Frindle" instead of well... the P-E-N word. I think this book is a definite buy because it has a good plot and story and really keeps you into it and you just want to read more. I really enjoyed this book. Thank You :)

Perfect For Kids 9-11
Frindle Is A Very Nice Educational Book. It influences kids to try new things. Im only 10 years old and im strting to be more smarter with my grammar. Nick Allen is a fun filled kid who loves joking aorund! He may get in trouble but nothing stops him.Nick decides to make up a new word, "Frindle" and gets on the news and in the newspapaers for the word. When he gets older his odl mean teacher, Mrs.Granger sends him a note that says the word "Frindle" is in the dictionary. I read it for a school assignem and i thought it was the best

This is a great book. It is not the slightest inappropriate for kids under 4. But kids under 4 will not get it.
