Frindle

De: Andrew Clements

Narrado por: Keith Nobbs

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.©2009 Simon & Schuster; 1998 Andrew Clements

Great, short read!

We love listening to audiobooks on road trips. My 2nd grader enjoyed this book (1.5 hours) in one sitting. She even said, “that ended well!”

loved it!

My son had to read this book for school and so I listened too. It was absolutely adorable and so well written. We will be looking for more by this author.

It was very interesting.

I like it because he makes a word and everyone used the word a lot.

A good book to listen to.

Would you listen to Frindle again? Why?

I would listen to this story again. It was a fun story to listen to at least twice!

What did you like best about this story?

It was a funny story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A trouble maker trying to make it through school.

What did you love best about Frindle?

All around great story... My son is 7 and listens to tons of books... this is a repeat favorite... and the ending is a mom's dream... :)

excellent

the whole family enjoyed this book. it was smart, witty, and not full of the snark some kids books contain these days. and to top it off, all adults were bright and engaged!

Frindle is awesome!

Cool book.Interesting plot. Good character development. I would recommended to anybody who likes laughing so hard your socks fall off, or simply is in need of something to do.

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.

AMAZING!

one of the best books iv ever read. and iv read a ton of books.
