When Nicholas Allen ends up in Mrs. Granger’s language arts class, he decides to create his own word: “frindle.” Before long Nick’s word creates a buzz in his school, his town, and then to his surprise it spreads around the country. Soon a power struggle erupts with the strict Mrs. Granger. Will “frindle” survive? Frindle is a quirky, imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words.
