Frindle
by Andrew Clements
A friend mentioned this book in passing, and I knew I had to reread it. It is every bit as fresh and captivating as it was the first day I read it, full of the deep sense of intellectual wonder and kindness that marks many of Andrew Clements' stories. As a former teacher and linguist, Mrs. Granger is a much more vivid, relatable, and compelling character than she seemed when I was in fifth grade. I hope I never lose that sense of curiosity, wonder, and willingness to see the world change, even as the setting of Frindle---basically as old as I am now---fades away to give rise to a new world, one we shape every day, with our actions and inactions.
