Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson

4.0

Really well done. I don't remember reading the novel when I was much younger but I think this format did a great job of showing Melinda's mental state unravelling after her rape. It's a year of school, and there are so many little details and triggers around her. And the tree symbolism is heavily used here but I thought that was good. It's tough, but important, and will bring Speak to a new generation of readers.
