| Frindle |
|
Nicholas Allen has plenty of ideas, most of them mischievous. His new teacher (who has X-ray vision) is wise to his ways, but her fanaticism about the dictionary inspires Nick’s greatest plan yet: to invent a new word. From now on, a pen is no longer a pen, it's a Frindle, and nothing in Nick’s hometown will ever be the same. Frindle, says the award-winning book’s author, Andrew Clements, “is about discovering the true nature of words, language, thought, community, learning. It’s also about great teaching and great teachers, and about the life that surges through corridors and classrooms every school day.”
