Does Nick Allen cause problems? He really simply enjoys making things interesting at school, and he always has a ton of brilliant ideas. Nick gets the idea for his greatest scheme yet—the frindle—after discovering some fascinating facts about the etymology of words. Is it necessary for a pen to be called a pen? What if we dubbed it a frindle? All goes well at first, as Nick introduces his pals to the new term. Subsequently, other townspeople begin uttering frindle. Nick has quickly gained local hero status and the school is in a frenzy. Nick's instructor wants him to stop talking like way, but the amusing thing is that he no longer owns the frindle. Nick is unable to stop the new phrase from spreading throughout the nation.
