Nick Allen is no troublemaker, but he does have a knack for stirring things up. When his fifth-grade language arts teacher, the formidable Mrs. Granger, assigns a report on the dictionary, Nick discovers a fascinating detail about how words are created.

What starts as a classroom game quickly escalates as Nick and his friends begin using the new word everywhere. "Frindle" spreads like wildfire, causing an uproar at school and turning Nick into an overnight local hero. Mrs. Granger is determined to put an end to the nonsense, but the word has taken on a life of its own, and there's no stopping it now. How far will "frindle" spread, and what will it mean for Nick, Mrs. Granger, and the power of words themselves?
