- fun contest between boys and girls
My 11 year old son loved reading this book. This is the story of a boy and girl who decide to challenge each other by not talking for a couple of days. They also get the rest of fifth graders in the same contest.

It is interesting to see the abilities they develop to communicate without talking. It is a great lesson for a child, and it also changes their perception of the stereotype of girls and boys.

- One of the Best!
This one definitely falls in the ranks of Frindle, The School Story, and The Landry News. It goes back to the charming school story, of two kids who make a difference in their entire school, rebelling against the authority figures. Two kids, just playing a simple little game, but in the process, revealing so much about life itself. I love the way the message is sent. Silence may not be the best solution, but on occasion, if taken the right way, it will work. The adults learn lessons from the ingenious kids, like the classic Clements works before this. I feel like the characters (other than the teachers) were really not given much characterization, though. Not much is known about their home lives, their interests, their personalities (other than the feistiness living in them all).
Random points I would like to make. It was slightly weird seeing them in a K-5 school, as the last book of his I read, 'Lost and Found', was set in a K-6 school, which I found odd. The three word story was pretty awesome, although it's more commonly seen as a forum game than a classroom activity, it worked out as a pretty awesome teaching tool. And, again, three word debating, that had me laughing very hard. All the ingenious ways the kids came up with to communicate and have fun, it's all classic Clements again :)

I thought this was just a really interesting book. It generated some great discussions in our family and I am looking forward to reading it to my students. There are so many interesting topics within this book. I would highly recommend it!

- No Talking
It's often difficult to get my son, who just started fourth grade, to read. However, he really liked No Talking and I never had to battle with him to read while he was reading this book. He really enjoyed it and picked it up every night and never gave me a problem. It was our first Andrew Clements book and we'll now try other.

- My 5th grader loved this book
Last weekend I ordered my daughter away from the TV and requested she pick a selection from a bag of library [paper] books and audio books we had borrowed a few days earlier. She started listening to 'No Talking' and didn't come out of her room for hours. I had to check on her several times because I never figured she would listen to the ENTIRE book in one sitting. She LOVED the book, and the narrator as well. So, although I didn't hear it firsthand she did give me a little synopsis of the book and it was an afternoon well spent!
