Title: Frindle
Author: Andrew Clements

Frindle is a fantastic read. It is interesting and suitable for all ages. It does not teach us any value or moral, but after reading it I learnt to stand firm to my beliefs and have determination.
This book is about a boy called Nicholas. He has plenty of great ideas, and just liven up the school. He learns how words are created, and out of the blue he has an idea-creating a new word. Nick (Nicholas) stops calling a pen 'a pen' but calls it 'a frindle'. He and his good friends sign an oath to use frindle instead of pen. They use this word everywhere, and this turns the school and the town upside down, with everyone using the word. Nick's teacher wishes Nick to put this to an end, but it was impossible. Soon as companies publish new dictionaries, Nick's word was printed in the dictionary!
I think this book is great. I would recommend it to everyone. Hope whoever who reads this would also try to get the book! (read less)
