Speak: By Laurie Halse Anderson

Melinda Sordino is in the 9th grade with zero friends. She called the police at a end of the year party after a senior boy tried to hurt her, and everyone hated her. She has become a outcast. She needs someone to talk to but she has become very depressed and can't talk. She hates school and begins to skip it. Melinda's parents get her a counselor, and it gets worse. She needs to speak!

Melinda went from: I might talk, to I will never talk! She changes quickly. She wanted to have the best high school years ever now she will have three more years of torture.

The book Speak is a unique book about a girl who needs to talk. It has some fast paced and some slow moving parts to the book.

Melinda has a lot of problems she needs to pick up her grades, and she needs to talk to someone who will help fix her problem of everyone hating her. Who will that person be?
