Nicholas Allen has plenty of ideas. Who can forget the time he turned his third-grade classroom into a tropical island, or the times he fooled his teacher by chirping like a blackbird? But now Nick's in fifth grade, and it looks like his days as a troublemaker are over. Everyone knows that Mrs. Granger, the language arts teacher, has X-ray vision, and nobody gets away with anything in her classroom. To make matters worse, she's also a fanatic about the dictionary, which is hopelessly boring to Nick. But when Nick learns an interesting tidbit about words and where they come from, it inspires his greatest plan yet: to invent a new word. From now on, a pen is no longer a pen -- it's a frindle. It doesn't take long for frindle to take root, and soon the excitement spreads well beyond his school and town. His parents and Mrs. Granger would like Nick to put an end to all this nonsense. But frindle doesn't belong to Nick anymore. All he can do now is sit back and watch what happens.
This quirky, imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words will have readers inventing their own words. Brian Selznick's black-and-white illustrations enhance the humor in this unforgettable story.

I liked this book a lot because I think it was funny but over all it had a good message. I liked the ending a lot and it almost made me want to cry because of how Nick and his teacher stayed in touch ten years after he was in her class. I also really enjoyed how his teacher Mrs. Granger secretly wanted him to win the war between the frindle.
I would rate this book three and a half because it is geat
What is a frindle? Read the book and find out.
This can MAYBE help you understand language a BIT more. And It Can Sometimes Make You Want To Start Calling A Pen A Frindle. Just A Warning.😉
THIS book was so boring. He wants to name a pen a frindle. What the?
I read this the summer before fifth grade. Nick Allen invents a new word: frindle; a replacement for 'pen'. The new word becomes popular throughout school and the nation. Nick even receives a trust fund for the word that he uses when he's all grown up. Such a great read!
This so far has been an amazing book every night my mom has to remind me to go to sleep I can not put this book down!
This kid makes a new word for pen which is very intresting
