The Frindle Files by Andrew Clements*

 The sequel to Frindle! Before he passed away in 2019, Mr. Clements had almost completed this sequel.

Initially I did not care for this book-I thought the kids were a bit too bold, and I am not into technology like the main character, Josh. As the story progressed, I appreciated how Mr. Clements wove technology with traditional learning, reinforcing the benefits of both.

Josh, a sixth grader, dreads his ELA homework each evening. He is required to handwrite it neatly in black or blue ink. No technology is utilized in this class. Then Josh discovers something about Mr. N, his ELA teacher. If he exposes his secret, would the teacher relent from his antiquated teaching requirements?

I love the incorporation of the book The Elements of Style by William Shrunk Jr. & E.B. White.

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
