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 \u003ci\u003efrindle.\u003c\/i\u003e It doesn't take long for \u003ci\u003efrindle\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003efrindle\u003c\/i\u003e doesn't belong to Nick anymore. All he can do now is sit back and watch what happens. \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689806698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.57h x 5.84w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nevada Young Readers' Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Delaware Diamonds Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sasquatch Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Great Stone Face Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1996 pg. 965\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/1996 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1996 pg. 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1996 pg. 201\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1996 pg. 63 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In Style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e16637 \/ Frindle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Clements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38027047502005,"sku":"9780689806698","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a783b3e3-d255-4104-b5af-edb30dbeb787.jpg?v=1609191987","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/frindle-9780689806698","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
