Frindle

Nicholas Allen is not a troublemaker — he’s just creative. When he decides to liven things up in Mrs. Granger’s fifth grade language arts class, he comes up with the greatest plan yet. He invents a new word for a pen — frindle. It doesn’t take long for frindle to take root and soon the excitement spreads beyond the school and town and unleashes a series of events that rapidly spins out of control.
