Publisher's summary

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.

Great for kids!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I listened to this book while driving my 15 year old to a youth conference. I picked it out for my 9 year old boy who accompanied us on the 4 hour drive. My 15 year old usually listens to his own music, but he had liked this story so much when he was younger, he decided to listen along with us and that is saying something. I enjoyed the story and am proud to say that a word I invented when I was a teenager is still used in my own community. It is a nickname for the local college.

a classic story for the whole family

Nick is a 5th grader who loves words and is fascinated with how dictionaries come into being. He wants to see if he can get everyone called a pen a "frindle." His teacher, Ms. Granger, believes that it is all a silly distraction. This battle of wills is a funny, sweet story. I loved it.

FRINDLE MEANS PEN 🖌

I think this book 📚 is very interesting. And the book 📚 is all about nick and mrs granger in 5 grade my favorite part is when everything and everyone is crazy 😜 about frindle my favorite character is Nicholas Allen Who is VERY HILARIOUS 😂. One thing I like about mrs granger is that her eyes 👀 can drill hole in you when her eyes 👀 are at full power they can also be very sharp also she still smiles a lot and her eyes 👀 can be really bright.i think 💭 that this 📚 should be a bestselling kids book 📚.EZRA 7 CHARLOTTESVILLE Virginia 🤑🤑🤑

I started reading the book to see what my daughter was doing in class. I was in suspense waiting to hear the next chapter.

Emensely entertaining!

The narrator was perfectly paired with this novel. This story is relatable to adults, terns, and adolescents. Both heartwarming and humorous, this is a novel easily recommended to all readers.

Melts my Heart

As an educator I LOVED this story! There is always that one kid ... You can interpret that phrase two different ways and both are represented in the book. In the end, my heart melted and made me think of some of my students that was like Nick!

Awesome!!

The narrator is very good, the story is amazing and interesting. kids and adults will both love it. It is about a boy named Nick who makes up the word frindle. I highly recommend it.
