LOCATION: Guardian Angel
CLEMENTS, ANDREW NO TALKINGThe fifth-grade girls and the fifth-grade boys at Laketon Elementary don't get along very well. But the real problem is that these kids are loud and disorderly. Then one day Dave Packer, a certified loudmouth, bumps into an idea -- a big one that makes him try to keep quiet for a whole day. But what does Dave hear during lunch? A girl, Lynsey Burgess, jabbering away. So Dave breaks his silence and lobs an insult. And those words spark a contest: Which team can say the fewest words during two whole days? And it's the boys against the girls. How do the teachers react to the silence? What happens when the principal feels she's losing control? And will Dave and Lynsey plunge the whole school into chaos? This funny and surprising book is about language and thought, about words unspoken, words spoken in anger, and especially about the power of words spoken in kindness.

So is Dee Eel, the water supply company. A scandal is brewing and Mrs. Sam N.'s fifth grade class is turning up a host of hilarious secrets buried deep under the fountain.

SACHAR, LOUIS SIDEWAYS STORIES FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL
There's been a terrible mistake. Wayside school was supposed to be built with thirty classrooms all next to each other in a row. Instead, the classrooms are stacked one on top of the other...thirty stories tall! That's probably the reason all kinds of wacky things happen at Wayside School...especially on the thirtieth floor. That's where you'll meet Mrs. Gorf, the meanest teacher in the whole school -- before she turned into an apple and was replaced by Mrs. Jewls, who has her own special way of teaching arithmetic. The kids are a weird bunch too -- from big-mouth Jason to stinky Sammy to sweet and pretty Maurecia, who can beat up any boy in the class. You'll never guess Allison's secret, or figure out how mean Mrs. Gorf came back to haunt the kids on the thirtieth floor. But you will discover the funniest, craziest, most mixed-up place that ever called itself a school!

MCMAHEN, CHRIS KLUTZHOOD Arlo thinks his mother is crazy for taking a job in a small town, far away from his old home and his good friends. And to make matters worse, the students at his new school are crazy-hockey crazy. Arlo has never laced up a pair of skates in his life, and he's not about to start. To avoid making a complete fool of himself in front of his classmates, Arlo joins a group of misfits called the Dumpster Dudes, who set him a series of wild initiation tests that unleash mayhem on the school. Broken windows in the classrooms, angry ants in the hallways, bicycles in the library and monsters in the air ducts-can East Bend Elementary survive Arlo? And will Arlo survive East Bend?
PECK, RICHARD THE TEACHER’S FUNERAL : A COMEDY IN THREE PARTS
If your teacher has to die, August isn't a bad time of year for it," says Russell Culver, fifteen, who's raring to light out for the endless skies of the Dakotas to join a team of harvesters working the new 1904 all-steel threshing machines. School's only standing in the way of his Dakota dreams. Maybe now with his teacher in the ground, Hominy Ridge School will shut down for good.
No such luck. Russell and his schoolmates are about to be ruled by a new teacher who is Russell's worst nightmare.
Despite stolen supplies, rustic vandalism, a blazing boys' privy, and more snakes than you can shake a stick at, the new teacher will keep the school afloat and set Russell on a new course entirely.
