Frindle by Andrew Clements

Another great read! This one was actually recommended by a student after a recent book report assignment.  He loved the book and thought I would too- and he sure was right! Clements grabbed my attention right away with his characters and kept me hooked until the very end. This is the story of a boy who comes up with a new word for 'pen'. Not realizing it would take off as it did, he began using it in his classes. Soon everyone is using it and the teachers are not happy!  I especially love the way the book ends, but I won't give too much away here.  Be sure to pick up your copy soon and let me know what  YOU think!
