雷克頓小學五年級的男生和女生全都愛講話。突然有一天，標準大嘴巴的大衛想試試整整一天不說話！但是一個名叫琳西的女孩在旁邊唧唧喳喳講個沒完。結果他打破了沉默，走過去挑釁。他們的爭執就此挑起了一場男生與女生的競賽；兩天之內，能講最少話的那一對就是贏家。

　　這本有趣的書討論了語言和思考、那些沒說出口的話以及氣憤中說出來的話、特別還有那溫和吐露字句時的語言力量，生動寫實又饒富趣味。

It's boys vs. girls when the noisiest, most talkative, and most competitive fifth graders in history challenge one another to see who can go longer without talking. Teachers and school administrators are in an uproar, until an innovative teacher sees how the kids' experiment can provide a terrific and unique lesson in communication. In No Talking, Andrew Clements portrays a battle of wills between some spunky kids and a creative teacher with the perfect pitch for elementary school life that made Frindle an instant classic.

Andrew Clements (1949-2019) was the author of the enormously popular Frindle. More than 10 million copies of his books have been sold, and he was nominated for a multitude of state awards, including two Christopher Awards and an Edgar Award. His popular works include About Average, Troublemaker, Extra Credit, Lost and Found, No Talking, Room One, Lunch Money, and more. He was also the author of the Benjamin Pratt & the Keepers of the School series. Find out more at AndrewClements.com.
