Who decides the definition of a word? The answer lies within a classic American school story: Frindle, by Andrew Clements. Even if you didn’t read this as a kid, you’ve probably seen the cover, with a red-haired kid holding a pen in the foreground. Jino read many of Andrew Clements’ novels as a kid, and even had some similar experiences in his own education. As a kid, this book felt a lot longer for Michael, but although it’s a fast read now, it certainly still packs a punch. Victoria read the entire book on her lunch break, and found it very heartwarming and, dare I say, nostalgic. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the origin of memes, teachers who made an impact on our lives, and what “Frindle” would be like if it had been written in the age of social media.
