After his boss found out that he could write well, he was assigned a few writing jobs. He came to write more and more and finally wrote his first picture book, Big Al. After a few more picture books, his first novel was Frindle.

No Talking My favorite book by Andrew Clements is No Talking. In this book, a boy and girl who don’t particularly like each other can’t stop talking. One day, they come up with a dare where they are not allowed to talk. They can only talk if a parent of teacher specifically asks them a question. Even then, they can only say 3 words. It turns into a the whole grade having a race between the genders to talk the very least.

Why I love his Books I like Andrew Clements books because… -They keep me on the edge of my seat and in suspense at parts that feel right. -I can relate to the feelings and emotions of the characters. A lot of his characters are about my age so it is easy to relate. -The way Clements writes and the words he uses are perfect for the stories. He uses good vocabulary but writes so it makes sense.
