About the Book: No Talking
Its boys vs. girls when the noisiest, most talkative, and most competitive fifth
graders in history challenge one another to see who can go longer without
talking. Teachers and school administrators are in an uproar, until an
innovative teacher sees how the kids experiment can provide a terrific and
unique lesson in communication. In No Talking, Andrew Clements portrays a battle
of wills between some spunky kids and a creative teacher with the perfect pitch
for elementary school life that made Frindle an instant classic.
