Mrs. Granger is called by several different nicknames throughout the book. Usually these names have a negative connotation. Mrs. Granger is different from all the other teachers. She does things her own way. Usually, she is old fashioned. She is known for being a very strict teacher.
Nick calls Mrs. Granger "The Lone Granger." This is in reference to The Lone Ranger, a Texas Ranger who works alone. Mrs. Granger is unlike any other teacher at the school. In a way, she does work alone. The rumors are that you shouldn't "mess around with The Lone Granger" (Frindle, chapter 3).
Mrs. Granger is also called Mrs. G by Nick. Dave, another student at the school, calls her "Dangerous Grangerous." This is in reference to the fact that Mrs. Granger is strict. She gets upset when students do not follow her rules. At first, she is upset when the students in her class start to call pens "frindles." She forbids students from using the new word.
