Frindle

Nicholas Allen has plenty of ideas. When he ends up in Mrs. Granger’s language arts class, he has his best idea ever. 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 all around the country, and a power struggle erupts with the strict Mrs. Granger. Will the word “Frindle” win?

Based on the multiple award winning best-selling novel by Andrew Clements this quirky, imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words will have your young audience inventing their own words.

“FRINDLE is … about discovering the true nature of words, language, thought, community, learning. It’s also about the great teaching and great teachers, and about the life that surges through corridors and classrooms every school day.” -Andrew Clements
