Summary: 5 Stars
Text of a POINTERED REVIEW IN KIRKUS REVIEWS, JULY 1, 1996
Nicholas is a bright boy who likes to make trouble at school, creatively. When be decides to torment his fifth-grade English teacher (who is just as smart as he is), by getting everyone in the class to replace the word "pen2 with 3frindle,2 he unleashes a series of events that rapidly spins out of control.
If there's any justice in the world, Clements (Temple Cat, 1995, etc.) may have something of a classic on his hands. By turns amusing and adroit, this first novel is also utterly satisfying. The chess like sparring between Nicholas and his crafty teacher is enthralling, while Mrs. Granger is that rarest of the breed: a teacher the children fear and complain about for the school year, and love and respect forever after. With comically realistic black-and-white illustrations by Selznick (The Robot King, 1995, etc.), this is a captivating tale?one to press upon children, and one they1ll be passing among themselves. (Fiction. 8-12)
