Speak has been a favorite of mine for a long time -- I have read the book and watched the movie a number of times. As I have been exploring graphic novels, I came across this and couldn't wait to see how it translated on the page. Art is so critical in Melinda's story, so I loved being able to see that on the page here. Very, very powerful story.
