ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson begins with Melinda Sordino starting her freshman year of high school as an outcast after a traumatic summer incident that she cannot bring herself to speak about. Now silent and avoided by her former friends, she navigates the isolating experience of high school, facing glares and whispers in the hallways. Melinda retreats inward, struggling to find her voice and a sense of belonging amidst the various cliques and social pressures. The narrative explores themes of trauma, the difficulty of communication, and the protagonist's journey towards self-discovery and finding a way to speak her truth.
