Overview
Speak up for yourself-we want to know what you have to say.' From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless - an outcast - because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. Through her work on an art project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. With powerful illustrations by Emily Carroll Speak: The Graphic Novel comes alive for new audiences and fans of the classic novel.Comments
She needs to speak and grow as a person, but for her it is different it is not easy to carry trauma, not if you do not have friends to count on, a great graphic novel that helps you understand what it is to live with rape and how it is not as easy as it seems to get over it.
