The fifth graders of Laketon Elementary are the noisiest class in history, so when Dave challenges Lynsey to a boys vs girls no talking contest, it won't be easy for either side. Teachers and school administrators alike are in an uproar, until one creative teacher sees the kids experiment as a unique opportunity to look at language and communication in a new way--and that's when things get interesting.

Final Thoughts: This is an engaging and hilarious book for all ages, but kids especially under 12! Its an awesome read by a fantastic author and I would definitely recommend it.
