They aren't really troublemakers. Fifth graders just like to shake things up a bit. In Frindle, Nicholas Allen felt Mrs. Granger's language arts class could use a little excitement. But he never thought that inventing a new word would disrupt not only his school but the entire town. And No Talking shows how a simple idea can cause chaos. Dave Packer just wanted to try an experiment. Could he keep his big mouth shut for one entire day? Readers of all ages can always count on award-winning author Andrew Clements to turn just another day in fifth grade into classic stories.
