"You have the right to remain silent." However...
The fifth-grade girls and the fifth-grade boys at Laketon
Elementary don't get along very well. But the "real" problem is
that these kids are loud and disorderly. That's why the principal
uses her red plastic bullhorn. A lot.
Then one day Dave Packer, a certified loudmouth, bumps into an
idea -- a big one that makes him try to keep quiet for a whole day.
But what does Dave hear during lunch? A "girl, " Lynsey Burgess,
jabbering away. So Dave breaks his silence and lobs an insult. And
"those" words spark a contest: Which team can say "the fewest
words" during two whole days? And it's the boys against the
girls.
How do the teachers react to the silence? What happens when the
principal feels she's losing control? And will Dave and Lynsey
plunge the whole school into chaos?
This funny and surprising book is about language and thought,
about words unspoken, words spoken in anger, and especially about
the power of words spoken in kindness...with or without a bullhorn.
It's Andrew Clements at his best -- thought-provoking,
true-to-life, and very entertaining.
