3.8 AVERAGE


My second grader gives this 4 stars. I wonder if he might rate it higher if he reads it again in a year.
4 1/2 stars.

What an adorable book! My daughter is reading it for summer reading, so I picked it up this morning and couldn't put it down! A smart student like Nick Allen, a wonderful evil teacher like Mrs Granger, and a newly invented word -- Frindle is one of the most charming books I have read in a long time.

This book was delightful and would make a great read aloud for elementary kids.

Such a cute book! For some reason we are reading it for our bookclub this month. It is a children's book, but I really enjoyed it!

Happy Reading!!

What a great way to teach an abstract concept.

I remember reading and loving this back in middle school. I had always wanted to invent a word!
