Now three of his most beloved books, including the contemporary classic Frindle , are available in this handsome boxed set. Includes the books Frindle, The Landry News , and The Janitor's Boy . The Award-Winning Frindle - Christopher Award, Horn Book Fanfare, Parents' Choice, Silver Honor winner, and winner of seventeen State book awards! Frindle - Is Nick Allen a troublemaker? He really just likes to liven things up at
school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas. When Nick learns
some interesting information about how words are created, suddenly he's
got the inspiration for his best plan ever...the frindle. Who says a pen
has to be called a pen? Why not call it a frindle? Things begin
innocently enough as Nick gets his friends to use the new word. Then
other people in town start saying frindle. Soon the school is in an
uproar, and Nick has become a local hero. His teacher wants Nick to put
an end to all this nonsense, but the funny thing is frindle doesn't
belong to Nick anymore. The new word is spreading across the country,
and there's nothing Nick can do to stop it.
The Landry News - NEW STUDENT GETS OLD TEACHER The bad news is that Cara Landry is the new kid at
Denton Elementary School. The worse news is that her teacher, Mr.
Larson, would rather read the paper and drink coffee than teach his
students anything. So Cara decides to give Mr. Larson something else to
read -- her own newspaper, The Landry News.
Before she knows it, the whole fifth-grade class is
in on the project. But then the principal finds a copy of The Landry
News, with unexpected results. Tomorrow's headline: Will Cara's
newspaper cost Mr. Larson his job?
The Janitor's Boy - IT WAS THE PERFECT CRIME Unfortunately, it also led to the perfect
punishment. When Jack Rankin gets busted for defacing a school desk with
a huge wad of disgusting, watermelon bubble gum, the principal
sentences him to three weeks of after-school gum cleanup for the chief
custodian. The problem is, Jack's anger at the chief custodian was the
reason for his gum project in the first place. The chief custodian
happens to be Jack's dad.
But doing time in the school basement after hours
reveals some pretty surprising things: about the school, about Jack's
father, and about Jack himself.
