Description
Fifth graders at Laketon Elementary are known for being loud, much to the dismay of their principal. When one student, Dave Packer, decides to take on a challenge to remain silent for a day, a school-wide contest erupts between the boys and girls to see who can utter the fewest words over two days. This humorous and thought-provoking novel explores the power of words, both spoken and unspoken, and the unexpected consequences of a vow of silence. As the competition escalates, teachers and administrators grapple with the unusual quiet, and the entire school faces the potential for chaos.
