"How do words get into the dictionary" is the clever question that Nick poses to his teacher to get her off the subject in class, but the wise woman turns the tables and assigns him to answer his own question in a report. So, he learns that one way is just by using the word over and over, and he decides to make up his own word. He calls his pen a frindle. The word spreads throughout the school like wildfire, and the problems begin. Ages 8-11 112 pages
