No Talking

This book is about a boy named Dave and a girl named Lynsey. Dave thinks girls talk way more than boys but Lynsey thinks boys talk way more than girls. They decide to have a contest to see who talks the most, boys or girls in the 5th grade. The contest would last for two days. Soon the whole 5th grade knew about the contest. The rules were you can't talk to teachers unless they ask you a question but you must respond in three words or less, you are not allowed to talk at home, and every extra word you use would count against you. Dave would keep track of the boys mistakes and Lynsey would keep track of the girls. When the contest started it was going fine except the teachers were getting suspicious because the 5th grade was know for talking and if they just stop talking every one notices. the three word answers were getting annoying to the teachers they thought it disrupted their classes. The principal did not like this game at all she thought it was better for them to talk. She called a meeting right before lunch with the 5th grade. She told them it must be put to an end. At lunch they were still not talking so she was mad. Soon Dave got called to the office. When he got there the principal was not mad at all she was happy. Dave did not understand what was going on. The principal had turned out to like the no talking thing so she only called Dave to her office to say thank you. In the end it ended as a tie.

I really like this book. I have always like Andrew Clements books for soon reason they just entertain me. it was like you were in the story and a part of no talking. The only thing is you kind of know whats going to happen next sometimes. I hope you read this book.
