I have read a few books by Andrew Clements (Frindle, A Week in the Woods, The Report Card, The School Story, Troublemaker, and The Last Holiday Concert) and I've enjoyed them all. Hope you find a good one the next time you are at the library. :) <br />~LDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-28028290327805152942017-04-12T17:27:31.853-04:002017-04-12T17:27:31.853-04:00I was just looking to see if I could find an Andre...I was just looking to see if I could find an Andrew Clements book the other day at the library. No Talking, is one I've been meaning to read for a while. I like the idea of it but if I were the parent of one of these children I'd be worried something was wrong unless they are just not talking at school. Kids should read this book and try it. They are so loud...Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-42081901732336536272017-03-15T20:49:48.933-04:002017-03-15T20:49:48.933-04:00Marcia- I read and loved Frindle.
