Review Detail

During the summer, something happened at a  PARTY  and Melinda  FREAKED OUT  and called the cops.  Now she is starting high school with no friends.  Melinda tries to tell her so called best friend  what happened but she wont  TALK  her and no one will LISTEN!   She feels so lonely and gets so sad.  Not only is she dealing with having no friends but she is also dealing with another terrifying situation and her parents are no help at all.  If you want to know what happened to Melinda and how she got through her  LONELY  first year of high school, read Speak.  If you have ever felt lonely as a teenager, you should read Speak.    

The author makes you want to keep reading and you really feel for Melinda and her situation.  She makes all the characters and situations seem so real.  I think the author is an excellent writer and can't wait to read more of her books.  She really draws you into the book.
This is an excellent book for teenagers because it totally relates to things that go on in high school and shows you a different view of what happens when people are treated wrong.
