No Talking by Andrew Clements

5.0

My 9-year-old son and I listened to this on CD in the car and we both LOVED it.

It was well-written and funny and thought-provoking in many ways. The narrator did a great job.

Boys vs Girls is an interesting topic to kids in the first place and adding in a contest to be quiet? I think that idea is really interesting. I would hope children reading this book would take to heart the lesson that there are many ways of communicating.

I loved the ending. I think it’s great that the kids won over their principal and that Lindsay took the time to sacrifice to help Dave.
