5.0 out of 5 stars Are teachers bad?, 11 Aug 2009

A Kid's Review

Frindle is a realistic book about a boy called Nick who decides to call a pen a Frindle. As the idea spreads, Nick's friends start doing it as well which causes tension for the reader because you feel that Nick's going to get into trouble, which does happen with his teacher.

I liked this book because it was one of those books that makes you feel that you are actually there where it's all happening. I also think that Frindle was a good book because the characters were all so interesting.

The best bit was when Nick sat a detention every day because he said Frindle. It was very funny to read every time this happened.

You should read this book because it made me laugh and at the same time it was about every day life.

Words to describe this book would be funny, interesting, original, unusual and quirky. I would suggest that people of all ages from 9 upwards would enjoy this book. My final score would be 9 out of 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calling all kids! Read this book!, 15 Jan 2004

By	"bobofett1010" - See all my reviews

I have to say Frindel is one of the best books I've read in my life. No childrens novel comes close to this one. The idea of this book is amazing. It's serious yet funny at the same time. All young readers will laugh at this masterpiece. I can honestly say I didn't want this book to end and I was so sad when I got to the last few pages. This is probabbly the first book I could say grabbed me when I read it. I really didn't want to read this but I had to. We had to pick up book from the school library and unfortunettly I was the last one to the library so I didn't get much of a selection so I just grabbed a book off the shelf and it happened to be Frindel. I started reading it and first I wasn't looking forward to reading it but once I started the first chapter I couldn't stop reading it.
All young readers, read this book. I can almost guarantee you'll love it. It's great for a book report or a book club or just for fun. Get out to your loca bookstore as fast as you can and buy this book, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully thoughtful comedy, 11 Feb 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Frindle (Hardcover)

For any child, or any adult who ever wriggled their way through school, sure they were smarter than their teacher, and sure life held more.... there is Frindle. This book is fabulous! When all of Nicholas's attempts to gain the upper hand over his fearsome fifth grade teacher fail, he comes up with his most diabolical plan yet. He decides to create a new word, and chooses frindle - to replace the word pen. By turns hilarious and thoughtful, this book contains well developed characters, including a gorgon of a teacher who turns out to be one of those "best teachers ever." Nicholas sets out to teach a lesson to the teacher, and winds up learning far more than he ever would have dreamed. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
