Frindle

//Frindle// by Andrew Clements [|Amazon.com]

//Frindle// by Andrew Clements is about a boy suddenly realizing that he once called pens frindles. He then tells everyone to substitute the word pen with frindle. Everyone does and the media and adults soon freak out and take it way too seriously. My favorite part in this book is when the wanna-be reporter interviews Nick and asks him many questions about his new word. Really, I don't think this is a good book and I find it wonderful for six to seven year-olds. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys shorts books with absolutely no meaning. Except to give writing utencils new names of course. Review by Daniel S.
