Publisher's Synopsis
Nick is about the most clever kid a Lincoln Elementary School, but it takes an extraordinary idea to outsmart no-nonsense Mrs. Granger. Nick is up to the challenge when he starts calling his pen a frindle and the name catches on with his classmates, the rest of the town and beyond. It isn't until his new word gains special acceptance that he realizes he underestimated the "Lone Granger".
"If there is any justice in the world, Clements may have something of a classic on his hands." (KIRKUS pointered view)
