Frindle - Book Review

Frindle is a wonderful story written by Andrew Clements.

It is the story of 5th Grader Nick Allen, who likes to create a small amount of mischief. His teacher Mrs Granger loves the dictionary and loves words. 

Nick decides to challenge how words are made and he creates a new word...watch what happens as this word takes off!

We would recommend this book for children aged 7 and up. This was a terrific story to read aloud in our Year 3 & 4 class.
