“A fitting final work from a master storyteller.”—Kirkus Reviews
Josh Willet is a techie, a serious gamer. Which is why Josh and his friends can’t stand Mr. N’s ELA class; it’s a strict no-tech zone. Mr. N makes them write everything out by hand, he won’t use a Smartboard, and he’s obsessed with some hundred-year-old grammar book. Then Josh discovers a secret; turns out Mr. N's been keeping a lot more than technology from his students! Together with his best friend Vanessa, and using all the computer skills they’ve got, Josh is determined to solve the mystery of Mr. N’s past. And maybe get some screentime back, too?
Andrew Clements’s final novel is a timely one—about the importance of language, the changes that come along with technology (good and bad), and how sometimes you have to challenge what you think you know. Set a whole generation later, this novel can be read on its own or alongside Frindle and is destined to become another timeless classic.

Narrator Keith Nobbs creates a passionate voice for sixth-grade student Josh, who tries to uncover his English teacher's past. Mr. N is a traditionalist who encourages his students to write with pen and paper, rather than their computers. However, when Josh discovers a pirated ebook version of one of his class texts, his entire class and Mr. N embrace technology and their writing skills to attempt to right this wrong. Nobbs captures Josh's energy as he works to connect Mr. N to a movement years ago, when a student created the word "frindle" for "pen." Listeners, especially FRINDLE fans, will enjoy this sequel, which takes on the challenges of technology use in today's classrooms. M.D. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
