Frindle is a genius book by Andrew Clements. It’s about a boy who thought of a new word, and everyone started to say it. Their mean teacher, Mrs. Granger, put a sign on the door that they would get a detention if they say the word.

The students kept saying the word frindle instead of pen, and it spread around the world because it went on the TV and the radio. Mrs. Granger loved the dictionary, so she was mad that he was making up new words. She didn’t think he could make up new words.

In the middle of all the excitement about frindle, Mrs. Granger called him to her classroom and told him to write his name on an envelope.

Ten years later he received a dictionary in the mail and a letter from Mrs. Granger. It was in the envelope that he had written his name on back in fifth grade. In the letter, she told him to go to the F section and find frindle.

It’s a good book and it shows Mrs. Granger learned a lesson. She learned that there can always be something new. It doesn’t have to always stay the same!

YOU ARE A GENIUS, AND THE WORLD EXPECTS YOUR CONTRIBUTION!
