Frindle (1996)Andrew Clements
Fiction
Rating: 4/5
Warnings: none
Frindle is a book about a kid named Nick. He is a genious/trouble maker and comes up with clever ideas. One day he learns how things become words and decides that he will start calling pens, frindles. He talks people in his school into going along with it and is excited when they do. His teacher tries to stop him at every turn, this just makes him work harder.
A theme in this book is small ideas can bring about big changes.
The authors style is third-person objective.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a clever story.
