A classroom challenge about communication

A fifth-grade contest between boys and girls turns silence into a shared experiment, drawing attention from teachers and school administrators. The students’ effort to outlast one another also opens a classroom lesson in communication, with an innovative teacher finding educational value in their challenge. The school setting keeps the conflict grounded in student competition and the ways children and adults interpret the same rules differently.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers ages 9–12 interested in school stories and classroom dynamics.
  • For children who enjoy plots built around competitions, challenges, and communication.

Book overview

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.
