Why remain silent when you should Speak?

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: Speak is an important novel about rape. Although it's targeted to a young adult audience, people of all ages should read the book.

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: Despite its flaws, Speak is worth reading for its compelling narrator and its attempts to deal with a crime faced by all too many teenage girls.
Review: Please Note: In order to adequately review this book, I?ve had to include a few spoilers.

Thirteen year old Melinda Sordino is starting high school as a social pariah. The summer before her freshman year, she called the police at a party...

Paperback, Speak
Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. But there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens.
