No Talking is a children's novel written by Andrew Clements. It is about the noisy fifth grade boys of Laketon Elementary School who challenge the equally loud fifth grade girls to a "no talking" contest. The book won the 2010 California Young Reader Medal. Main themes are related to Gandhi's practice of maintaining silence one day a week, accommodations made in school for an especially loud and talkative 5th grade group of students, gender dynamics (in elementary school), and the civil disobedience those students find themselves practicing when their "right to remain silent" is questioned by the school's teachers and administration.
