Speak+(MB)

//**Speak**//, Laurie Halse Anderson review by Mikaela B.

Speak takes place in Syracuse, New York. The main character is Melinda Sordino. Entering high school Melinda has no friends, and many people loathe her. Last year at a huge end of the summer party she called the cops, and a lot of people got in trouble. After that all her friends hated her and never talked to her again. Although, nobody knows the reason why she called the cops, sure they have assumed reasons, like she thought the party was getting out of control or she just wanted to get people in trouble. But Melinda had a reason, and she won't tell anyone because her family shuts her out and she thinks she has no one to turn to.

I would recommend this book to someone because it has a little mystery in it and when you are reading you feel Melinda's pain and suffering. I would also recommend it because it gives you an insight to how people feel when something horrible happens to them and they won't tell anyone because they have no one to turn to.
