Andrew Clement's Frindle


Este libro se trata de un nino llamado Nick Allen. Nick estaba en quinto grado. Era famoso en su escuela por sus ideas. En segundo grado, Nick y sus amigos hicieron el salon mirar como una isla de Hawaii. Nadie olvidara de eso. Pero ahora que estaba en quinto grado, su maestra de ingles, Ms. Granger, no queria eso. Un dia, Nick trato de hacer la clase mas corta. Pregunto por que tenian todas esas palabras en el diccionario. Ms. Granger dijo que deberia dar un reporte sobre eso la proxima dia.
La proxima dia, cuando Nick dio su reporte, lo hizo tan largo que tomo casi toda la clase. Cuando Nick y su amigo Nora estaban caminando a casa, Nora encontro a un lapiz. Nick lo dio a Nora y dijo, -Aqui esta su... frindle.- Eso era como frindle-mania empezo.

In case you don't speak spanish, here's what I just said: This book is about a boy named Nick Allen. Nick was in fifth grade. He was famous in his school for his ideas. In second grade, Nick and his classmates made their classroom look like one of the Hawaiian islands. No one would ever forget that. But now that he was in fifth grade, his english teacher, Ms. Granger, didn't want that. One day, Nick tried to make the classtime shorter by asking why there were all these words in the dictionary. He ended up having to give a report about just that.
The next day, when Nick gave his report, he made it take so long that, by the time he finished, class was almost over! When Nick was walking home with his friend Nora*, Nora found a pen. Nick gave it to her and said, "You dropped your... frindle." And that was how frindle-mania began.

*Was that the same Nora from The Report Card by Andrew Clements?
