Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

I must admit when I first started this book I was a bit worried.  It seemed a bit harsh and I got worried that I would not be old enough to read it.  See Article About Being Old Enough.  I was happily pleased that this book has great merit and I do like it. 

Even though I was worried, I know now that very way she started the book will attract those who need this book the most.  Laurie Halse Anderson is a great author and weaves the story brilliantly.

This book is a story about a girl who doesn't say much to anyone.  It is what she is thinking as she says nothing at all.

I really enjoyed what this book does and can do for teens.
