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.©2007 Andrew Clements.

I liked this story more than some of the other books by Andrew Clements and the narrating is spot on!

Good plot

Clements - as always - breaks the Children's fiction mold today that puts adults in the backseat and lets kids rule the world. In this book, the kids remain the center of the text while adults are portrayed as real people - smart, flawed, and good. Refreshing!

another amazing title

I think it was one of the best Battle of the Books books of 2024-2025 and if thought this was amazing then go read Willodeen or Fish in a tree if you haven’t already
