Translator's Note

From the giant dictionary to the e-book and electronic whiteboard
A story of priests and priests that transcends generations

Thirteen-year-old coding prodigy Josh prefers to do everything quickly and easily on a computer.
There was a huge obstacle that Josh encountered when the new semester began: the eccentric teacher Nicole.
A person with a quirky fashion sense who sticks to wearing Aloha shirts, sandals, and socks all year round.
As if that weren't enough, the teacher forbids the use of electronic devices in the classroom, which uses electronic whiteboards and laptops. He also makes students handwrite their homework every time, using an outdated grammar book.
As usual, Josh, who was doing his homework by hand, finds the word 'Frindle' on the pen he borrowed from his mother.
Josh quickly searches the internet for a word that piques his curiosity and stumbles upon an unexpected secret.
The boy who created the Prindle is said to have a striking resemblance to Ms. Nicole! Could the old-school Ms. Nicole and the quirky boy be the same person? Josh immediately creates a "Prindle File" on his laptop, filling it with Ms. Nicole's secret clues.
The Hacking Project for Teacher Nicole begins now! In Andrew Clements's last work, "The Frindle Files," which returns to readers decades later with a sequel, the roles of student and teacher are reversed.
Nick, the boy who was the school's representative troublemaker and created the new word "Prindle" that shook up the whole school and clashed with Mr. Granger, appears as a conservative teacher who insists on analog.
Teachers and adults are always unknown to children.
Moreover, the twist in Ms. Nicole's life, which is taking a different path from her childhood, immediately draws readers who have read "Please Give Me a Prindle" as well as those who are encountering the world of Prindle for the first time to the bookshelf.
Andrew Clements, who became a children's book author based on his experience as a teacher, returns to the starting point of his career and his representative work to once again present a story that will captivate today's students and teachers.
The reappearance of a child who defies tradition and rules and presents a unique breakthrough in his own way, Prindle's new story is still ready to resonate with readers.

“To those who choose to do the right thing”
A child with the courage to look back on his beliefs

Nick and Josh's childhoods were markedly different.
While Nick did his homework by flipping through a thick dictionary page by page, Josh easily accomplished multiple tasks by simply snapping his fingers.
To Josh, who takes "Python Philosophy," a guidebook for Python coding, as his motto and seeks answers there whenever he encounters a difficult problem, "The Elements of Sentences," which is over 100 years old and which Nicole used as a textbook, must feel like an antique.
Eventually, the project to hack Teacher Nicole morphs into an ambitious escapade, like bringing electronic devices into the classroom.
But in the process, Josh begins to doubt the things he had believed to be true.
"The Elements of Sentences," which I had considered old-fashioned, was written by the author of "Charlotte's Web," which I had loved as a child. Furthermore, the direction suggested in "Python Philosophy" was quite similar to the writing rules in "The Elements of Sentences." Furthermore, I learned that my teacher, in addition to creating Prindle, held an even more surprising secret.
Josh is deeply troubled by the question of whether he can continue this deviation and whether it is okay to overturn the system that his teacher has maintained.

'Teacher Nicole is as obsessed with The Elements of Sentences as I am with The Philosophy of Python.
It's no wonder the teacher was upset about that e-book.
'I'd be upset if someone messed up "Python's Philosophy"!' (pp. 131-132)

Josh and Nicole, who juggle e-books and paper books, coding and writing, change and rules, are a lot like the modern classroom.
This passage naturally brings to mind the rapidly changing Korean school landscape with digital textbooks and AI education, as well as the families who are always concerned about their children's screen time.
"The Fringle File," which brings to light a hot topic in society, further confronts young readers with the double-edged sword that innovative technology can bring.
Josh learns that the e-book file he proudly showed his teacher was actually a pirated copy, and that it tarnished the reputation of the author he loved. As a result, Josh naturally accepts the pros and cons of modern technology.
You also realize why your teacher has never told you such a great secret.
By watching pirated files being spread indiscriminately, I indirectly experienced the process of secrets that I didn't want others to know being spread.
Thanks to this, unlike Nick in the past who went around informing the whole neighborhood about the beliefs and values, Josh understands and accepts others' beliefs and values ​​on his own by completing homework assigned by his teacher.
It is not easy for anyone to turn away from the ways they have believed to be right.
So, between tradition and innovation, “explore yourself.
“As children ask questions, wonder, and explore on their own (page 123), the decision to seek a new path is even more appealing.

Children are changing the world, and adults are making a difference.

Josh's plan to uncover Ms. Nicole's secrets turns into a massive attempt to erase the world of pirated e-books riddled with typos.
Joshi decided to stand up against the adult's flawed conscience that undermines the value and copyright of the work.
Many children immediately join Josh's choice without hesitation.
Vanessa, who has always been there to help, and her friend Miguel, who has also posted an interview with Josh on their YouTube channel, are looking for people who can help.
To successfully complete this project, Josh ends up joining hands with Ms. Nicole.
She decided to use writing, something she had long avoided, to write a petition email to e-book creators and other people who loved Charlotte and the Spider's Web and The Elements of Sentence! Ultimately, the petition email and YouTube video were featured on the social media accounts of famous authors, and Josh's project, which "began as a simple 'Prindy' prank (p. 105)," spread beyond school and into the world.
By combining the visuals most familiar to children today with books that are far from their own, children are changing the world in their own way.
And behind this miraculous attempt by the children is their strong supporter, Teacher Nicole.

“These kids were right about something that needed to be changed with their parents’ permission…
And now the word has gone out into the world.
I can't stop.
(…) How carefully and bravely our students are raising their voices.
“To protect the world from misinformation, to speak out loud about the importance of language… … and to eradicate pirated e-books!” (pp. 227-228)

Just like Mr. Granger, who secretly and silently cheered on her students during the Frindle Incident, Ms. Nicole passes on the kindness she received from her teacher to her precious student, Josh.
He observes the many struggles of children and does not rush to offer solutions until the students reach out to him first.
We simply guide children to find their own answers and provide them with support so that they can have a voice in society.
Unlike Ms. Granger, who has kept her presence hidden, Ms. Nicole willingly joins the students in their efforts to fight against injustice, greatly contributing to the children's growth.
Although classroom situations may have changed with the times, the strong relationship between teachers and students, which has a profound impact on each other's lives, remains unchanged.
This beautiful and natural value will be fully conveyed to readers of 『The Fringle File』, following the previous work.

A series of long-form fairy tales for children who are engrossed in stories, "Siot"
A world of countless letters to imagine, love, and own.

"The Fringe File" is the first work in the new fairy tale series "Siot" published by Sageseoul Publishing.
'Siot', which will serve as a solid ladder between fairy tales and young adult novels, is a series of long fairy tales that retains the pleasure of reading but is twice as long.
The cover contains various elements to pique the readers' interest before diving into the full-length story.
For children who are saddened by the bookshelves that are quickly ending, for children who dream of works with a grand worldview, for children who want to immerse themselves in stories with a longer breath, and for teenagers and adults who still love fairy tales, 'Siot's' attempts will continue in the future.
