Speak

You should read this book.. everyone Laurie Anderson's book Speak. Have you ever felt like you need to tell someone something but could never open you mouth and tell them.

Well, thats what Melinda goes through in the book Speak. She gets attacked by a boy named Andy at an end-of-summer party, and she calls the cops, so her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place for her to be alone is in her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she is trying not to think about, something about the night at the party that, if she let in, she would blow her carefully constructed disguise and would have to speak the truth.

If you like a tough, tender, and darkly funny story of a teenage outcast then I recommend this book to you.
