Frindle by Andrew Clements
2.0

Bah! Would have been fine if this was the only Clements book I read. But as a 4/5 teacher, I've also read No Talking! and The Report Card. The problem is that Clements uses the exact same plot line/formula for each of his books.

1.Clever kid comes up with an idea/social experiement.
2.Adults get pissed. Kid in trouble at school.
3.Consensus reached. Kid made point.
4.Adults and kids so happy together again.

I will not be reading any more books by Clements when there are so many other fabulous children's authors out there who are creative in their writing!

Andrew Clements: Stop writing the same book over and over!!!!
