Description

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Andrew Clements is the author of several picture books, including Big Al and Bill and the Bad Teacher. He taught in the public schools near Chicago for seven years before moving east to begin a career in publishing. The idea for Frindle grew out of a talk he gave about writing to a group of second graders. He says this about the book: “Frindle is . . . about discovering the true nature of words, language, thought, community, and learning. It’s also about great teaching and great teachers, and about the life that surges through corridors and classrooms every school day.” Mr. Clements lives in Westborough, Massachusetts with his family.
