pioneerokie 's review for:

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

5.0

WOW! A girl is date raped but there's a misunderstanding that leaves the rest of the student body blaming her for something else. Consequently she doesn't speak about the incident. Slowly she becomes more withdrawn- and no one sees it, which only silences her more. An amazing book. I would recommend all parents and adults who work with children read this book. Very well written.
