BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: MANY
Josh’s ELA teacher is such a dinosaur! Not only are no computers allowed in the class, but also homework has to be written out by hand! Rummaging through the family junk drawer, he finds a pen, but it is labeled “Frindle”. What? With some quick online research, Josh begins to wonder – is his throwback ELA teacher this same kid who tried to shake up the world with the Frindle? Josh is sure he can use this to his advantage.
Sure, I read the original Frindle when it came out in 1996. Amusing, but it never stuck in my head. Frindle Files, however, is an absolute winner for me. A definite reread! Mr. N. as Josh’s antagonist is sneakier and bolder than Nick’s teacher ever was. Maybe, as an adult now, that’s what I like about it.
