Synopsis
Imaginative Nicholas Allen stops using the word pen and instead calls that writing instrument a frindle. With Nicholas's encouragement, his friends also begin calling pens frindles. Soon, Nicholas's word is being used all over town much to the disgust of his teacher, Mrs. Granger. Illustrated with b&w drawings.

When he decides to turn his fifth grade teacher's love of the dictionary around on her, clever Nick Allen invents a new word and begins a chain of events that quickly moves beyond his control.

Publisher's Note
What if one day you decided to stop calling a word like pen "pen" and started calling it something else--like "frindle"? When Nicholas Allen does just that, and encourages all of his friends to start using the new word, his experiment turns the town upside down. An imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words.

Industry Reviews
"This is a refreshingly original plot whose combination of clandestine revolt and language-arts lesson is surprisingly successful. The action is sometimes too adult-driven, and the peripheral characters are easy to lose track of, but Clements keeps the narrative kid-accessible and the tussle with authority gleeful despite its restraint."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/19/1996)

"If there's any justice in the world, Clements may have something of a classic on his hands. By turns amusing and adroit, this first novel is also utterly satisfying....With comically realistic black-and-white illustrations by Selznick, this is a captivating tale--one to press upon children, and one they'll be passing among themselves."
