What if one day you decided to stop calling a word like pen "pen" and started calling it something else--like "frindle"? When Nicholas Allen does just that, and encourages all of his friends to start using the new word, his experiment turns the town upside down. An imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words. Teacher Guide available; please contact the Media Center via email to request a copy to be sent with your order. (media@e2ccb.org).
