Although it's a very elementary-school story (most of Clements' books are . . . ), I enjoyed this tale of boys vs. girls. The main character decides to be completely silent for one day after learning about Gandhi. He blows it, but learns that it's possible to avoid talking. When he challenges one of the most chatty girls to a contest, the all-out silence upsets some teachers and the principal, who demand that they act and speak in a "normal" manner. The first lunchroom / principal scene is my favorite part of the book. This is just a very "young" read.
