It’s 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. The fifth graders at Laketon Elementary are the noisiest class, so when the kids decide to do an unusual social experiment to see who can last the longest without speaking, it leaves the teachers and faculty in an uproar. With the boys versus the girls, and the teachers against it all together, it's one creative teacher who sees' the experiment as a unique opportunity to look at language and communication in a fresh new way!
