Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson
5.0

This was my first graphic novel. I’m not sure why I waited this long to read one. I had no idea how impactful they can be. This one tore me up inside. I’m sure many of our students are experiencing trauma like the main character in this book does. It made me really step back and examine some assumptions I’ve made with some students. I want to be someone they can turn to and talk to, not just another rigid adult harping on them to fulfill my expectations no matter what they’re going through in life.
