Why read it?
1 author picked Frindle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was just recently introduced to this book by my friend Erica, and I love it so much! It’s a story that feels ridiculous and realistic at the same time.

It’s an ode to the power of silly ideas, and I can’t recommend it enough.
From Kyle's list on for goofy kids.
