What
"Frindle" is about a fifth grade boy named Nick who is always
getting in trouble. His teacher is very strict, and makes the class
constantly check the dictionary. Nick gets the idea to make up
words, and begins calling a pen by a new name, a "frindle." This idea
catches on and all the kids begin calling pens "frindles." Nick runs
into trouble when the adults want him to stop calling pens "frindles"
but the word has caught on, all over the country. The book has a
happy ending, with Nick successfully turning "frindle" into a real
word that is even published in the dictionary.

My m
Was Nick a troublemaker? Hard to say. One things for
sure: Nick Allen had plenty of ideas, and he knew what to
do with them.
That passage shows me that he had a lot of troublemaker like ideas, its just
he doesnt mean to get in trouble with those ideas he has.
