  <default_description>Is Nick Allen a troublemaker? 

He really just likes to liven things up at school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas. When Nick learns some interesting information about how words are created, suddenly he's got the inspiration for his best plan ever...the frindle. Who says a pen has to be called a pen? Why not call it a frindle? Things begin innocently enough as Nick gets his friends to use the new word. Then other people in town start saying frindle. Soon the school is in an uproar, and Nick has become a local hero. His teacher wants Nick to put an end to all this nonsense, but the funny thing is frindle doesn't belong to Nick anymore. The new word is spreading across the country, and there's nothing Nick can do to stop it. </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Cute. Inventive. Inspiring. Made me want to be an English teacher. I realize that Clements has authored a lot of relatively sucessful children's and young adult literature, but Frindle is the most popular of his works. I've yet to read any other books by this author, other than a few picturebooks (w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1211880">more...</a>]]></body>

Since finishing it a few weeks ago, I have recommended it to anyone who would listen. It's just an all-around feel-good story with a superb ending. <br/><br/>One thing in particul...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37110835">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really was resistant to reading this book, but heard from colleagues how great it was so I caved. I was blown away by how intense the story gets in such a short book. Being a teacher, I love the dynamic that plays out. That not all teachers want to squash kids who try to color outside the lines.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a really good book. It is one that you might want to buy someday. It's about this boy who is good at making his teachers baffled on what to do about him until MRS.GRAINGER. She loves the dictionary, but Nick, the boy, knows just what to do. Read this book to find out or I'll bite your nose.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2303836">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was my introduction to Andrew Clements.  What an author!  This is definitely my favorite.  A boy decides to find out if he can invent a new word and get it used enough to become an official entry in the dictionary.  A fascinating look at how our language works!]]></body>
