Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson

4.0

---

I haven't read the original source material, so can't tell you how faithful this is to it, but as a standalone it's beautifully effective. Emily Carroll (creator of the deliciously eerie 2014 anthology, Through the Woods) is perfect for this adaptation, using her penchant for horror and dark images to depict the sheer terror of adolescent girlhood.
