BASIC LAYOUT

Frindleis a 1996 children's novel written byAmericanauthorAndrew Clements and illustrated by BrianSelznick.

Frindle was Clements's first novel. All his previous works hadbeen picture books. Clements described the idea as having cometo him in the form of the thought, "What would happen if a kidstarted using a new word, and other kids really liked it, but histeacher didn't?"

At the start of fifth grade, Nicholas "Nick" Allen is unhappybecause his English teacher is the much-disliked Mrs. Granger.One day, to stall for time in class, Nick decides to question whereeach word comes from. After hearing Mrs. Granger'sexplanation, and having to write an essay about it for homework,he creates a new name for the pen: "frindle".

His classmates really like the idea and soon, every child in schoolis using the word. It starts to gain national attention at that point. Mrs. Granger dislikes thisnew word because she thinks it is not respectful to the word "pen", which has a long history.She makes children stay after school and write lines for saying the word "frindle", but thisproves to be a problem, as almost every pupil has to stay after school. Parents complain, and

the bus drivers that have to work overtime are also unhappy.

The principal decides to visit Nick's house to end the use of the word, but the situation is out ofNick's hands now, and the word's usage cannot be controlled.

At one point, a person puts up a sign in town advertising the word "frindle" and anotherperson, one of his dad's longtime friends makes merchandise with the word "frindle"somewhere on it.

The epilogue shows Nick as an adult in his own house. At this point, the word "frindle" becamea common part of the language. He becomes very rich from the fund of his dad's longtime

friend, and Mrs. Granger sends him a new copy of the Dictionary, recently updated to includenew words, including "Frindle". She also includes a letter, where she explains that sheintentionally stood against the word in order to make it more popular. He sends back a present,a gold pen with Mrs. Granger's name on it saying, "This object belongs to Lorelei Granger andshe may call it any name she chooses to."
