No Talking by Andrew Clements

In this story, a boy named Dave is trying to keep zipped for one day each week.  And why?  He learned it from a social studies report about India.  He liked how India became independent.  He read that Mahatma Gandhi stopped talking to bring order to his mind.  Dave thought he could give it a try.  But one day while he was keeping silent, he hears Lynsey Burgess and loses his patience of being silent.  Now there is a contest - boys against girls.Who will win? Read the story to find out! I liked this story because it was entertaining and funny.
