Speakby Laurie Halse Anderson
AwardsMichael L. Printz Honor Book, 2000
Golden Kite Award - Fiction, 1999 Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens. And then she would have to speak the truth. This extraordinary first novel has captured the imaginations of teenagers and adults across the country. Review:"An uncannily funny book even as it plumbs the darkness, Speak will hold readers from first word to last." The Horn Book Review:"Melinda's sarcastic wit, honesty, and courage make her a memorable character whose ultimate triumph will inspire and empower readers." Booklist Review:"Stunning first novel...Anderson infuses the narrative with a wit that sustains the heroine through her pain and holds readers' empathy...." Publishers Weekly Review:"The plot is gripping and the characters are powerfully drawn...its raw and unvarnished look...will be hard for readers to forget."
