Something bad happened to Melinda, and now noone at school will talk or listen to her, so she doesn't seem the point in talking anymore. Will she be able to open up through her art?
When I picked this up, I didn't realise it was an adaptation of a novel and as much as I think this works really well as a graphic novel, I think I would have preferred the novel.
That isn't to say I didn't enjoy this and it wasn't worth reading, but I think quite a lot of the nuance of the story is likely missed. But this is surrounding really important issues and is self expression and it really is a good read, would recommend.
