Scott Foresman Reading » Frindle
Frindle Mrs. Granger is notorious among all the fifth grade teachers — for being strict, yes, but mostly for her love of words and of the dictionary. Enter Nick Allen, who, after trying to trick Mrs. Granger into wasting time on the first day of school, has to prepare a report on the history of the dictionary. The research, along with a few other, lucky events, gives him an idea: What if he could invent a new word - call an ordinary ballpoint pen a frindle dismay of Mrs. Granger, who halfheartedly punishes the students for using frindle. Eventually, the word becomes so popular that people all over the world want to use it, and, eventually, it becomes part of the dictionary. Years later, after frindle has become a common part of the language, Mrs. Granger has a special surprise for the all-grown-up Nick, inventor of the word frindle.
