Rendition Toward Books No Talking

"You have the right to remain silent." However...

The fifth-grade girls and the fifth-grade boys at Laketon Elementary don't get along very well. But the real problem is that these kids are loud and disorderly. That's why the principal uses her red plastic bullhorn. A lot.

Then one day Dave Packer, a certified loudmouth, bumps into an idea -- a big one that makes him try to keep quiet for a whole day. But what does Dave hear during lunch? A girl, Lynsey Burgess, jabbering away. So Dave breaks his silence and lobs an insult. And those words spark a contest: Which team can say the fewest words during two whole days? And it's the boys against the girls.

How do the teachers react to the silence? What happens when the principal feels she's losing control? And will Dave and Lynsey plunge the whole school into chaos?

This funny and surprising book is about language and thought, about words unspoken, words spoken in anger, and especially about the power of words spoken in kindness...with or without a bullhorn. It's Andrew Clements at his best -- thought-provoking, true-to-life, and very entertaining.

Criticism Epithetical Books No Talking

This review also appears on my blog, Read-at-Home Mom.No Talking is a school story about a particularly chatty fifth grade class. Their teachers have been trying since kindergarten to get these kids to stop talking so much during the school day, and they have never been able to do it. This is why they are so surprised when, one afternoon, the entire class falls silent. Little do they know that Dave Packer and Lynsey Burgess have made a bet to see which group - the boys or the girls - can say the

Great audiobook for the whole family. One of the kids experimented with avoiding talking after we listened to it.

Andrew Clements' books are great for road trips. Funny, engaging, and not too long. This one was another winner enjoyed by my whole family.

Dave Packer is determined to go for two days without talking. But what started out as an experiment inspired by his report on Mahatma Gandhi has become something much bigger. Now it is a contest between the 5th grade boys and girls at Laketon Elementary School. Can they go two days without saying a word (or at least no more than 3 words at a time if teachers demand it)? The bigger question is will this contest become a problem or a learning experience?On first, No Talking seems like a light

I love this book. It explores the power of language--whether we choose to use it--or not. Clements takes on not only that topic, but another, deeper topic, and handles it very well--what if the kids were right, and the grown-ups weren't? How should that be handled? And it begs the questions: Who handled the no-talking challenge better? How could Dave and the other students have done things differently? WHY did the grown-ups react the way that they did? Just how powerful IS talking? Is tone just
