Frindle

By: Andrew Clements

Narrated by: 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 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.

I loved it and I think this is a great book for family so you should read this with your family and friends and I hop you enjoy this book as much as I did

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 🤑🤑🤑

a great book. must read

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.

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.
