Ileana's December Book Review

Title:FRINDLE
Author:ANDREW CLEMENTS
Genre:SCHOOL
Review:5 OUT OF 5
Reviewed by: ILEANA A. ILLE


FRINDLE. Such an awkward word. Such an awkward meaning. You see Nick Allen was a very creative 5Th grader with a not so creative teacher. Nick Allen loved to learn, read, create etc. and he always had the most outrageous idea's and was known for them too. But one day the MOST outrageous of all came to Nick Allen's crazy little mind... you see Mrs. Granger was his 5Th grade Language Arts teacher ( a tough one at that) and she never had one tardy student, and she was OBSESSED with the dictionary " You are the one who says that d-o-g means the thing that goes woof woof Nicholas" Mrs. Granger had said in response to one of Nicks "Time Wasting questions" And that was what triggered the idea of FRINDLE the word made by Nickolas Allen that means pen......

The book was good and I learned a lot about self confidence in it because nick had to go through some hard times in it with the "war" between Mrs. Granger and himself and other difficulties.
