NO TALKING - Simon & Schuster

Who can talk less for two hole days, boys or girls? The fifth graders at Laketon Elementary are the noisest class in history, so when Dave Packer challenges Lynsey Burgess to a boys vs. girls 'no talking' contest, it's not going to be easy for either side. Teachers and school administrators are in an uproar, until one creative teacher sees the kids' experiment as a unique opportunity to look at language and communication in a fresh new way-and that's when things get really interesting.
